1. Workload and Stress: Nurses often face heavy workloads and high-stress environments. This can lead to burnout and the tendency to delay tasks that seem overwhelming. 2. Perfectionism: Some nurses may delay tasks because they want to perform them perfectly and fear making mistakes. 3. Lack of Motivation: Fatigue and lack of motivation can make it difficult to start or complete tasks. 4. Poor Time Management: Ineffective time management skills can lead to procrastination. 5. Environmental Distractions: A busy and chaotic work environment can make it hard to focus and get tasks done promptly.
