What Are the Challenges in Providing Institutional Support?
Despite its importance, providing institutional support is not without challenges:
- Budget Constraints: Limited financial resources can hinder the ability to offer comprehensive support programs. - Staffing Shortages: High patient-to-nurse ratios can make it difficult to implement policies like adequate rest breaks or reduced workloads. - Resistance to Change: Implementing new policies or technologies can face resistance from staff who are accustomed to existing practices. - Communication Barriers: Effective communication is essential for institutional support, and barriers can lead to misunderstandings and reduced effectiveness of support programs.
