There are multiple factors that can lead to resistance to feedback among nurses. These include:
Fear of Criticism: Many nurses may fear that feedback will be solely negative or a direct attack on their competence. Lack of Trust: If there is a lack of trust between nurses and their supervisors, feedback can be perceived as unfair or biased. Previous Bad Experiences: Past negative experiences with feedback can cause nurses to be defensive or dismissive. Cultural Factors: Cultural background can influence how feedback is received and interpreted. Workload Stress: High stress levels and heavy workloads can make it difficult for nurses to receive and process feedback effectively.
