Recent literature estimates that there are approximately 2 1/2 million nurses; of these a significant number may exhibit signs of codependency, a behavior pattern that impedes an individual's ability to relate to others on mature level. Codependency develops in dysfunctional family systems and manifests itself in compulsive behaviors that make life painful and work emotionally difficult. Often, constructive communication is difficult as codependent persons tend to feel low self-esteem and low self-worth. Nursing students may exhibit characteristic codependency traits among fellow students in the classroom, in the clinical setting, and in interactions with faculty. Nurse educators, through their own self-awareness, introspection, and knowledge of the behaviors and characteristics of codependency, can facilitate more effective communication with all nursing students to promote healthier interactions and relationships. Techniques to modify one's method of interacting with others have clear potential for improving professional as well as personal relationships.
最近的文献估计，大约有250万名护士；其中相当一部分人可能表现出相互依赖的迹象，这是一种行为模式，会阻碍个人在成熟层面与他人建立关系的能力。相互依赖在功能失调的家庭系统中形成，并表现为强迫行为，这些行为会让生活痛苦，让工作在情感上变得困难。通常，由于相互依赖的人往往自尊心和自我价值感较低，建设性的沟通会很困难。护理专业学生在课堂上、临床环境中以及与教师的互动中，可能会在同学中表现出典型的相互依赖特征。护士教育工作者通过自身的自我意识、内省以及对相互依赖行为和特征的了解，可以促进与所有护理专业学生更有效的沟通，以促进更健康的互动和关系。改变与他人互动方式的技巧显然有潜力改善职业关系以及个人关系。
