Several factors contribute to staff resistance in nursing:
1. Fear of the Unknown: Changes often bring uncertainty, which can cause anxiety among staff. 2. Lack of Communication: When changes are poorly communicated, it leads to misunderstandings and resistance. 3. Perceived Loss of Control: Nurses may feel that changes infringe on their autonomy and professional judgment. 4. Insufficient Training: Inadequate preparation for new roles or technologies can result in resistance. 5. Cultural Barriers: Existing workplace culture may not be conducive to change, leading to pushback.
