ABSTRACT

Poverty contributes to acute illness, chronic disease and health inequity among millions of Americans, yet health care providers often do not understand the daily experiences of those who live below the poverty line and how it affects their interactions with the health care system. In this narrative, we share healthcare students’ stories and reflect on how they account for their experiences of participating in a poverty simulation. Their words come from reflection assignments, and when we read their words, that for a moment, many of our students understand that as a healthcare practitioner, they can make a difference in the life of someone living in poverty. We believe that this experience will inspire our students to make meaningful change as future healthcare professionals. We also believe that the impact on these students goes toward our collective goal as teachers of future healthcare providers to make a difference in our world.

为什么我们希望我们的学生了解贫困和医疗保健:分享我们学生从贫困模拟中获得的经验

摘要

贫困助长了数百万美国人的急性疾病、慢性疾病和健康不平等,但医疗保健提供者往往不了解生活在贫困线以下的人们的日常经历,以及这些经历如何影响他们与医疗保健系统的互动。在这个叙述中,我们分享了医护专业学生的故事,并反思了他们如何解释自己参与贫困模拟的经历。他们的话来自反思作业,当我们阅读他们的话时,有那么一刻,我们的许多学生都明白,作为一名医疗保健从业者,他们可以改变生活在贫困中的人的生活。我们相信,这种经历将激励我们的学生作为未来的医疗保健专业人员做出有意义的改变。
