    Nurses can improve patient care by distinguishing between destructive caretaking and constructive caregiving behaviors. A new simulation game, "The Climb," helps nurses identify and alter codependent patterns, fostering healthier professional interactions.

    Area of Science:

    • Nursing
    • Psychology
    • Healthcare Education

    Background:

    • Nurses often exhibit caretaking behaviors that can be detrimental to patient outcomes and professional well-being.
    • Differentiating between caretaking (potentially destructive) and caregiving (constructive) is crucial for effective nursing practice.
    • Codependent behaviors can negatively impact both professional and personal lives of nurses.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce a novel simulation/game designed to help practicing nurses recognize and address codependent behaviors.
    • To provide nurses with strategies for facilitating constructive caregiving and mitigating destructive caretaking.
    • To enhance nurses' self-awareness regarding the impact of codependency in their professional roles.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a team-based simulation/game titled "The Climb."

  • Utilizing a mountain-climbing expedition metaphor to represent the nursing journey.
  • Engaging participants in experiential learning to explore the consequences of codependency.

    • Main Results:

    • The simulation/game effectively facilitates nurses' recognition of codependent behaviors in themselves and colleagues.
    • Participants gain insights into the negative consequences of codependency through the game's narrative and interactive elements.
    • The team-based approach promotes discussion and practice of alternative, constructive behavioral patterns.

    Conclusions:

    • "The Climb" simulation/game offers a valuable tool for nursing professional development.
    • Learning to differentiate caretaking from caregiving enhances nursing practice and patient safety.
    • Addressing codependency through simulation can lead to improved personal and professional outcomes for nurses.
