Engaging families in pediatric care can present several challenges, such as:
1. Time Constraints: Busy schedules can limit the time families and healthcare providers spend together. 2. Health Literacy: Some families may struggle to understand complex medical information. 3. Socioeconomic Barriers: Financial constraints, lack of transportation, and limited access to healthcare resources can hinder engagement. 4. Emotional Stress: Families dealing with chronic or severe illnesses may experience high levels of stress, making it difficult to focus on engagement.
