While peer review is valuable, it comes with its own set of challenges. One common issue is the potential for bias, where personal relationships and preconceived notions may affect objectivity. Another challenge is the time and resource constraints, as conducting thorough reviews can be labor-intensive. Additionally, the process may cause anxiety among nurses, especially if they perceive it as punitive rather than developmental. To mitigate these challenges, it is essential to establish clear guidelines, provide training for reviewers, and foster a supportive environment.
