Resistance to change among pediatricians can stem from several factors:
Fear of the Unknown: Changes often bring uncertainty. Pediatricians may fear that new methods or technologies could negatively impact patient care. Comfort with the Status Quo: Established routines and practices provide a sense of comfort and predictability. Disrupting these routines can be stressful. Time Constraints: Implementing new practices often requires additional time and effort, which can be challenging given the already demanding nature of pediatric care. Lack of Resources: Limited access to necessary resources such as training, technology, and support can hinder the adoption of new practices. Perceived Inefficacy: Pediatricians may doubt the effectiveness or necessity of the proposed changes.
