What Challenges Do Nurses Face in Maintaining Objectivity?
Several factors can challenge the objectivity of nurses:
1. Emotional Involvement: Developing close relationships with patients can sometimes lead to emotional involvement, which may affect impartiality. 2. Workload and Stress: High workload and stress levels can impair judgment and decision-making abilities. 3. Cultural Differences: Differences in cultural backgrounds between nurses and patients can sometimes lead to miscommunication and misunderstandings. 4. Personal Biases: Preconceived notions and biases can unconsciously influence how nurses perceive and interact with patients. 5. External Pressures: Pressure from patients' families, colleagues, or institutional policies can sometimes lead to compromised objectivity.
