Several factors can hinder patient cooperation, including:
Lack of health literacy: Patients may not understand medical terms or the importance of their treatment plan. Psychological factors: Anxiety, depression, or denial can affect a patient’s willingness to cooperate. Socioeconomic barriers: Financial constraints, lack of transportation, or work commitments may prevent patients from adhering to their care plan. Communication gaps: Language barriers or cultural differences can impede effective communication between patients and healthcare providers.
