Background: Poverty is a global issue that negatively affects health outcomes and quality of life. Incorporating simulation in nursing education programs can help students develop a better understanding about poverty.
Method: A cross-sectional mixed-methods pre- and posttest survey design was used with two cohorts of undergraduate nursing students who participated in a poverty simulation.
Results: A convenience sample of 132 students participated in this study. Most of the students reported they had learned something new that would impact the way they will interact with patients affected by poverty.
Conclusion: To ensure a competent nursing workforce in an ever-changing global health care environment, all nursing students must have a basic understanding about the implications of poverty on health. Nursing education can enhance a 1-day poverty simulation by partnering with local community groups and agencies so that students can actively participate in improving the lives of disadvantaged individuals who are affected by poverty. .
