What Challenges are Associated with Follow-Up Care?
Several challenges can arise during follow-up care, including:
Non-compliance with follow-up appointments and treatment plans. Lack of resources and access to healthcare services. Communication barriers between healthcare providers and patients. Patients' socioeconomic status affecting their ability to adhere to follow-up recommendations.
Nurses must develop strategies to address these challenges, such as providing education, leveraging community resources, and employing motivational interviewing techniques to encourage compliance.
