Despite its importance, data collection in nursing comes with several challenges, such as:
Time Constraints: Nurses often have limited time to collect data due to high patient loads and other responsibilities. Incomplete Data: Patients may provide incomplete or inaccurate information, affecting the quality of data collected. Technological Barriers: Issues with EHR systems, such as downtime or user-friendliness, can impede data collection. Privacy Concerns: Ensuring patient confidentiality while collecting and storing data is paramount.
