Several barriers can hinder the building of trust in pediatrics:
1. Time Constraints: Limited appointment times can make it challenging to address all parental concerns, leading to frustration and reduced trust.
2. Cultural Differences: Cultural and language differences can create misunderstandings. Pediatricians must be culturally competent and, when necessary, use interpreters to bridge communication gaps.
3. Previous Negative Experiences: Parents with past negative healthcare experiences may be more skeptical. Pediatricians need to be patient and understanding to rebuild their trust.
