What Challenges Do Nurses Face in Providing Emotional and Psychological Care?
Nurses encounter several challenges in providing emotional and psychological care, including:
Time Constraints: Heavy workloads and time pressures can limit the ability to engage deeply with each patient. Lack of Training: Some nurses may feel inadequately trained to address complex emotional and psychological issues. Emotional Burnout: Constantly dealing with patients' emotional needs can lead to compassion fatigue and burnout among nurses. Stigma: Mental health issues often carry stigma, making it difficult for patients to open up and for nurses to address these concerns effectively.
