When nurses possess negative attitudes toward people with low socio-economic status it can negatively influence patient care. This study examines whether providing care in a service-learning environment positively affects nursing students' world views and empathy toward the poor. Using a pre-post design, the Attitudes about Poverty and Poor People Scale and the Just World Scale were administered to both a control group and nursing students engaged in a clinical rotation at a low-income housing facility or homeless shelter in spring and fall 2010. Findings show the service learning treatment modestly enhanced empathy and students' views on justice, while not improving superficial perceptions of the poor.
当护士对社会经济地位较低的人群持有消极态度时，可能会对患者护理产生负面影响。本研究探讨在服务学习环境中提供护理服务是否会对护理专业学生对穷人的世界观和同理心产生积极影响。采用前后测设计，于2010年春秋两季对对照组以及在低收入住房设施或无家可归者收容所进行临床实习的护理专业学生，施测《对贫困和穷人的态度量表》及《公正世界量表》。研究结果表明，服务学习疗法适度增强了同理心和学生对公正的看法，但并未改善对穷人的表面认知。
