- Information Overload: The sheer amount of information can be overwhelming. - Emotional Stress: Dealing with a child's health issues can be emotionally taxing, making it difficult to focus on acquiring knowledge. - Healthcare System Barriers: Complex healthcare systems can be difficult to navigate without adequate support. - Cultural and Language Barriers: These can impede effective communication between families and healthcare providers.
