Health Literacy Low health literacy can hinder a patient's ability to understand and engage in their care. Nurses need to assess the health literacy levels of their patients and adjust their communication strategies accordingly.
Time Constraints Nurses often face time constraints that can limit their ability to engage with patients fully. Finding efficient ways to incorporate patient engagement strategies into routine care is essential.
Patient Reluctance Some patients may be reluctant to engage due to fear, anxiety, or lack of confidence. Building a trusting relationship and providing reassurance can help overcome these barriers.
