Despite its benefits, there are several challenges to patient empowerment:
Health literacy: Low health literacy can hinder patients' ability to understand and act on health information. Resource limitations: Limited access to healthcare resources, including financial constraints, can impede empowerment efforts. Cultural barriers: Cultural differences may affect communication and the acceptance of empowerment strategies. Systemic issues: Fragmented healthcare systems and time constraints can limit the ability of nurses to empower patients effectively.
