NET2019 - Student nurses' attitudes to social justice and poverty: An international comparison

Student nurses’ attitudes to social justice and poverty and the impact of pedagogical strategies to teach the determinants and patterns of health inequities are poorly understood. This study compared attitudes to social justice and poverty in two cohorts of students from the UK and US before and after learning about health inequities. US students were significantly more likely to have positive attitudes towards social justice and poverty compared to UK students. Significant positive changes in attitudes to poverty and social justice were observed only among US students. Specific elements of curricula that lead to positive attitudinal changes require further exploration.
