We investigate how perceived economic disadvantage is associated with social relationships in school among children aged 9–14 years and the mediating effect of family relationships in the association. We measure economic disadvantage through both perceived financial concerns and the child’s estimate of the amount of money he or she has compared to friends. Social relationships are measured through the experience that teachers care and trust that other children will help if needed. Family relationships are measured through three variables measuring a child’s experiences of communication with parents and having a good time with family. As data, we use the Finnish sub-survey from the third wave of the international survey Children’s Worlds, The International Survey of Children’s Well-being (ISCWeB) for 2018–2019 (N = 1684), which we analyze using linear probability regression models. Results show that both measured dimensions of perceived economic disadvantage are negatively associated with the experience that teachers care and the trust that other children help. Family relationships mediate the association of financial concerns with relationships with both teachers and other children in school. Having less money than friends is associated with relationships with both teachers and other children, regardless of family relationships. Attention should be paid to the socio-emotional well-being of economically disadvantaged children in school, especially children who are exposed to vulnerability in family relationships as well. It is important not only to promote economic equality but also to be aware of hierarchies built on economic grounds among children.

Poverty has detrimental effects on health outcomes. Doctorally prepared nurse practitioners are in a position to promote health for patients and communities experiencing poverty. To do so, they must be aware of their own attitudes and to have empathy toward the condition of poverty. Specialized poverty simulations have been successfully used to improve attitudes toward poverty among prelicensure nursing students, but there is a paucity of evidence exploring the effects of poverty simulations among Students in a Doctor of Nurse Practice (DNP) program. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the impact of a poverty simulation for students enrolled in a DNP program on their attitudes toward poverty. A quasi-experimental, pre-test and post-test survey design was used in this curriculum improvement project. A total of 29 DNP students participated in a 1-time, 4-hour Community Action Poverty Simulation© (CAPS). The simulations presented various challenges faced during 1 month of living in poverty. The Attitudes toward Poverty Scale-Short Form (ATPS-SF) was used to measure attitudes toward poverty both before and after the CAPS© experience. Descriptive statistics and paired t-tests were used to describe the participant group and measure the impact of the simulation on attitudes toward poverty. Attitudes toward poverty improved overall on all dimensions of the ATPS-SF after the CAPS© experience as compared to the pre-test, with particular improvement regarding stigmas related to poverty. Statistically significant improvements were detected on four items, and the overall favorable shift in attitudes presents clinically significant results. This poverty simulation experience should be considered for adoption into DNP curricula.
