Patient education commences early in hospital and continues until full recovery of the patient. Also, it provides appropriate information to patients by which they can acquire a healthier status. Objectives: This study aimed to investigate Iranian nurses’ perspective from barriers to patient education in intensive care unit.
Materials and Methods: In this qualitative study, 25 nurses were recruited using purposeful sampling. Data were gathered using semi-structural interviews. Moreover, data were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using the content analysis method.
Results: Fivemain barriers were identified as barriers to patient education including nursing personnel shortages, lack of adequate knowledge and motivation, inadequate facilities, ineffective communication, and insufficient supervision and control.
Conclusions: The necessity and importance of patient education and the role of nurses in intensive care unit is undeniable. Re[1]garding the importance of the issue, the barriers to effective patient education should be addressed. The barriers, then, should be diminished using appropriate measurements
