While self-monitoring is beneficial, it also comes with challenges, such as: 1. Time Constraints: Nurses often have demanding schedules, making it difficult to find time for self-reflection and assessment. 2. Bias: Personal biases can affect the accuracy of self-monitoring, leading to either overestimation or underestimation of skills. 3. Emotional Barriers: Confronting one's own shortcomings can be emotionally challenging and may lead to resistance. 4. Lack of Resources: Limited access to self-assessment tools and professional development resources can hinder effective self-monitoring.
