Nursing environments can be fast-paced and demanding. In such settings, the focus often shifts to immediate medical needs, potentially leading to the neglect of broader patient factors. Some common reasons include:
Time Constraints: High patient-to-nurse ratios can limit the time available for individualized assessment. Lack of Awareness: Some healthcare professionals may not be fully aware of the impact of non-medical factors on health. Communication Barriers: Language differences and cultural misunderstandings can impede effective communication with patients.
