Area of Science:

Nursing Education
Public Health Policy
Health Advocacy

Background:

Nursing curricula traditionally lack opportunities for developing political competence.
Nurses play a crucial role in public health policy development and advocacy.
Enhancing nurses' skills in policy advocacy is essential for improving health outcomes.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate the effectiveness of a public health policy simulation in developing nursing students' political competence.
To assess the impact of hands-on advocacy training on nursing students' confidence and engagement in health policy.

Main Methods:

A public health policy simulation combining didactic preparation and practical advocacy training.
Students engaged in legislative visits, mock testimony, and received feedback from legislators at the State Capitol.

Main Results:

Students reported increased knowledge and confidence in the legislative process and public health policy advocacy.
Participants felt more prepared to communicate with legislators and understood nursing's role in policy.
The simulation increased students' reported likelihood of engaging in future health policy advocacy.

Conclusions:

Public health policy simulation should be integrated into nursing curricula.
This integration fosters a culture where public health policy is recognized as integral to the nursing profession.
Simulation-based training is vital for empowering nurses as effective health policy change agents.
