What Challenges Do Nurses Face in Achieving the SDGs?
Despite their critical role, nurses face several challenges in achieving the SDGs:
Resource Constraints: Limited resources, including staffing, funding, and supplies, can hinder the ability of nurses to provide quality care and engage in community outreach. Workforce Shortages: The global nursing shortage impacts the capacity to meet healthcare demands and achieve SDG targets. Burnout and Mental Health: High-stress environments and heavy workloads can lead to burnout, affecting nurses' mental health and overall well-being. Policy and Systemic Barriers: Inadequate policies and systemic issues within healthcare systems can impede progress toward the SDGs.
