is due to the nurse understanding of their education role, having preparation of patient education as an
educator, and environmental factors. This study assesses the nursing education’s facing challenges in patient
education field.
Materials and Methods: This is a review article that is based on collecting data from electronic resources
(Elsevier & Pubmed), and published article from 2000 to 2016, related to the topic.
Results: Patient education is the basic rights of patients. For the optimum implementation of patient
education, the nurse faces barriers, as the largest group of health care. These are the most important barriers

lack of time, high density of nurses duties, lack of attention and support by managers, lack of organizational
support, underestimating the education value in system, ineffective management, inappropriate organizational
culture, patient anxiety and pain, unawareness of education benefits, lack of written resources in education,
inappropriateness of therapeutic environment for education, underestimating the role of nurses in patient
education by patients, lack of patient cooperation, the contrast between the role of different fields of medicine
specialists, lack of economic resources (financial, equipment and facilities), lack of knowledge and skills for
nurses, lack of motivation, and lack of interest of nurses to the education.
Discussion and Conclusion: These are comments that could be helpful for the managers to overcome
the barriers in patient education: spending more time for the nurse education, providing more material and
resources in education for both the patients and nurses, seminars and education’s activities for nurses in
terms of the ongoing evaluation, providing appropriate place for education, and supportive actions, |
