Several factors contribute to overreliance in nursing: 1. Technological Advancements: New technologies are continuously being integrated into healthcare, which can sometimes overshadow traditional methods. 2. Workload and Time Constraints: High patient loads and tight schedules can push nurses to rely more on technology to save time. 3. Training and Education: A curriculum heavily focused on technology can result in nurses being less proficient in traditional, hands-on skills. 4. Institutional Policies: Policies that emphasize the use of specific technologies or procedures can inadvertently encourage overreliance.
