Several reasons contribute to the existence of technological barriers in nursing:
1. Lack of Training: Many nurses may not receive adequate training on new technologies, which can lead to difficulties in implementation and use. 2. Resistance to Change: Nurses may be resistant to adopting new technologies due to comfort with traditional methods and fear of the unknown. 3. Cost Constraints: Implementing advanced technologies can be expensive, and budget limitations can prevent healthcare facilities from adopting these innovations. 4. Technical Issues: Problems such as software glitches, hardware malfunctions, and lack of technical support can hinder the effective use of technology. 5. Workflow Disruptions: New technologies can disrupt established workflows, causing frustration and inefficiencies.
