While detachment is beneficial, over-detachment can lead to negative outcomes such as:
1. Loss of Empathy: Over-detachment can make nurses appear cold or indifferent, which can impact patient trust and rapport. 2. Reduced Patient Satisfaction: Patients may feel neglected or undervalued if they perceive their nurse as emotionally distant. 3. Ethical Concerns: Over-detachment can lead to ethical dilemmas where the nurse may fail to advocate adequately for the patient.
