Several barriers can hinder family engagement: 1. Language Barriers: Communication issues arise when families and healthcare providers do not share a common language. 2. Time Constraints: Busy schedules of both healthcare providers and families can limit the time available for thorough discussions. 3. Lack of Resources: Limited access to educational materials, support services, and training can be a significant impediment. 4. Cultural Differences: Differences in cultural beliefs and practices can affect perceptions of healthcare and willingness to engage. 5. Healthcare System Complexity: Navigating the healthcare system can be daunting for families, especially those unfamiliar with medical terminology and procedures.
