Addressing personal biases is essential for several reasons:
- Improved Patient Outcomes: By providing equitable care, nurses can help ensure better health outcomes for all patients. - Enhanced Trust: Reducing biases can build stronger, more trusting relationships between nurses and patients. - Professional Growth: Nurses who actively work on their biases can grow professionally and personally, becoming more effective caregivers. - Legal and Ethical Obligations: Nurses have a legal and ethical duty to provide non-discriminatory care to all patients.
