Nurses often encounter several challenges in establishing trust, including:
Time Constraints: Heavy workloads and time limitations can hinder the ability to engage deeply with each patient. Cultural Differences: Diverse cultural backgrounds may create misunderstandings or communication barriers, making it harder to build rapport. Past Negative Experiences: Patients with previous negative healthcare experiences may be skeptical and less willing to trust new caregivers. Systemic Issues: Organizational issues, such as staffing shortages or inadequate resources, can affect the quality of care and patient perceptions.
