What are the Challenges in Using Cognitive Restructuring in Nursing?
Despite its benefits, cognitive restructuring can pose some challenges:
- Time Constraints: Nurses often have limited time with each patient, making it difficult to delve deeply into cognitive restructuring techniques. - Patient Resistance: Some patients may be resistant to changing their thought patterns or may not see the value in cognitive restructuring. - Training and Expertise: Effective cognitive restructuring requires training and expertise, which not all nurses may possess.
