What Challenges Can Affect Patient-Nurse Relationships?
Several challenges can impede the development of strong patient-nurse relationships. High nurse-to-patient ratios, time constraints, and heavy workloads can limit the amount of time nurses can spend with each patient. Additionally, cultural and language barriers can create misunderstandings and hinder effective communication. Addressing these challenges requires systemic changes, such as improving staffing levels and providing cultural competence training for nurses.
