Tsukui Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Yokohama City, Kanagawa Prefecture; Representative Director and President: Takeshi Takabatake; hereinafter "the Company") has developed "Tsukui's Nursing Care Sugoroku," an educational tool designed to help "pre-caregivers" who may potentially care for family members in the future, as well as individuals interested in the nursing care industry, to learn about nursing care in a fun, game-based format. Currently, there are no plans for general sale, and it is intended for use in seminars hosted by the Company.
❚ What is "Tsukui's Nursing Care Sugoroku"?
"Tsukui's Nursing Care Sugoroku" is characterized by its ability to allow players to simulate everyday events that may occur to caregivers through a board game. The cards used in the game describe common caregiving scenarios before and during care (※1) and their solutions. Players can experience various caregiving-related events, consider the underlying issues, and learn concrete solutions.
The game rules are very simple: the player who collects the most "Smile Points" obtained by learning solutions within a 30-minute time limit wins.
The game's rules are designed for anyone to easily participate, making it suitable not only for "pre-caregivers" who have not yet experienced caregiving but also for those interested in the nursing care industry, allowing them to enhance their care literacy while having fun.
※1 "Aru-aru" (common scenario): A familiar event or situation that many people have experienced or heard about, and that is likely to occur.
❚ Background of "Tsukui's Nursing Care Sugoroku" Development
Caregiving can suddenly come into anyone's life. The Company has previously addressed numerous voices saying, "I would have felt more at ease if I had known about caregiving in advance." Listening to these voices, we began to consider whether we could provide an opportunity for people to prepare for caregiving at an earlier stage, before their family members actually need care.
"Tsukui's Nursing Care Sugoroku" aims to lower the psychological barrier to caregiving and facilitate natural learning by adopting an easy-to-participate board game format. By creating opportunities for various people to gather and discuss caregiving, we hope to deepen knowledge before caregiving begins and contribute to the realization of a society where people can face caregiving with peace of mind.
❚ Future Developments
Currently, there are no plans for general sale of "Tsukui's Nursing Care Sugoroku." The Company is considering its use as part of its efforts to improve care literacy within its work-life balance support service "Yorisoi Concierge for Business," as well as for seminars targeting the general public and training for new recruits.
Moving forward, the Company will continue to consider various measures under its mission to "address the challenges of a super-aging society and create an era where people live happily for 100 years."
