What Challenges Exist in Implementing Patient-Centered Care?
Despite its many benefits, implementing patient-centered care in neonatal settings can be challenging. Common obstacles include:
Resource constraints, such as limited staffing and funding, which can impact the ability to provide comprehensive, individualized care. Communication barriers, including language differences and varying levels of health literacy among parents. The complexity of neonatal disorders, which often require specialized knowledge and coordination among multiple healthcare providers. Emotional and psychological stress experienced by families, which can make it difficult for them to engage fully in the care process.
