What Challenges Do Nurses Face in Meeting Emotional Needs?
Several challenges can impede a nurse's ability to meet the emotional needs of patients:
Time Constraints: Limited time with each patient can make it difficult to thoroughly address emotional needs. Workload: High patient-to-nurse ratios can lead to burnout and reduced capacity for emotional support. Lack of Training: Not all nurses receive adequate training in emotional and psychological care. Personal Bias: Nurses must be aware of and manage their own biases to provide unbiased emotional support.
