Codependency in Nursesand Related Factors

Childhood abuse, neglect, codependency, and affecting factors in nursing and child development students

“…It is indicated that physical and emotional health problems are another factor affecting codependency (Özdemir & Buzlu, 2019) and that the presence of a health problem in the person or in his/her family plays an effective role in the development of codependency (Park et al, 2003).…”

“…Codependency is also common in people who have a close relationship with an individual with an emotional/mental disorder or chronic disease, and in health professions focused on helping, as well as in children of parents who are alcoholic or have behavioral problems (Ançel, 2012).

Ançel (2017) stressed that the prevalence of codependency in Turkey is not known as the subject has not been researched widely enough.…”
