What are the Challenges in Ensuring Informed Decisions?
Several challenges can impede the process of making informed decisions: 1. Health Literacy: Patients may have varying levels of understanding of medical terminology and concepts. 2. Emotional Stress: The stress and anxiety associated with illness can affect a patient's ability to process information. 3. Time Constraints: Limited time during consultations can restrict thorough discussions. 4. Cultural Differences: Cultural beliefs and values may influence how patients perceive information and make decisions.
