What Challenges Do Nurses Face in Policy Advocacy?
Nurses may face several challenges in policy advocacy, including:
Lack of time: Balancing advocacy efforts with demanding work schedules can be difficult. Limited knowledge: Some nurses may feel they lack the necessary knowledge about the policy-making process. Resistance to change: Policymakers and other stakeholders may be resistant to proposed changes. Resource constraints: Limited financial and organizational resources can hinder advocacy efforts.
However, these challenges can be mitigated through continuous education, collaboration with professional organizations, and leveraging the collective voice of the nursing community.
