Several factors contribute to employer resistance in nursing:
Financial Concerns: Changes often come with costs, and employers might resist changes that require significant financial investment, such as hiring additional staff or upgrading equipment. Cultural Factors: Organizational culture can be a significant barrier. Long-standing practices and traditions may be hard to change, even if new practices are proven to be more effective. Lack of Awareness: Employers may not be fully aware of the challenges nurses face or the potential benefits of proposed changes. Fear of Disruption: Implementing new practices can disrupt existing workflows, and employers may resist to avoid the temporary decrease in productivity that often accompanies change.
