Nurses face several challenges in communication, including:
1. Time Constraints: High patient loads and tight schedules can limit the time available for thorough communication. 2. Emotional Stress: Dealing with critically ill patients and their families can be emotionally taxing, affecting communication. 3. Complex Medical Terminology: Explaining complex medical information in simple terms can be challenging. 4. Interdisciplinary Communication: Coordinating with a diverse healthcare team requires clear and efficient communication. 5. Patient Barriers: Patients may have cognitive impairments, hearing loss, or language differences that hinder communication.
