Objective. To evaluate the impact of a simulation on pharmacy student attitudes toward poverty using the Attitude toward Poverty (ATP) Short Form scale. Methods. Second-year pharmacy students participated in the 3-hour Missouri Association for Community Action Poverty Simulation. Students completed a survey of the ATP Short Form scale prior to and following participation in the simulation. Results. Significant improvements in attitude were noted in 15 of 21 ATP Short Form items. Improvements in the stigma and structural domains were significant while improvement in the personal deficiency domain was not significant. Conclusions. This poverty simulation exercise positively altered pharmacy student attitudes toward poverty. When combined with didactic and experiential curriculum, this simulation may enhance student achievement of the 2013 Center for the Advancement of Pharmacy Education (CAPE) outcome subdomain of cultural sensitivity.
目的。使用贫困态度（ATP）简表评估模拟对药学专业学生贫困态度的影响。方法。二年级药学专业学生参加了为期3小时的密苏里社区行动协会贫困模拟活动。学生们在参与模拟活动之前和之后完成了ATP简表的调查。结果。21项ATP简表项目中有15项态度有显著改善。耻辱感和结构领域有显著改善，而个人缺陷领域的改善不显著。结论。这项贫困模拟活动积极改变了药学专业学生对贫困的态度。当与理论和实践课程相结合时，这种模拟可能会提高学生在2013年药学教育促进中心（CAPE）文化敏感性成果子领域的成绩。
