	Poverty - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Poverty may be seen as the collective condition of poor people, or of poor groups, and in this sense entire nation-states are sometimes regarded as poor.
		Poverty is often understood to be an essential element of renunciation among Buddhists and Jains, whilst in Roman Catholicism, it is one of the evangelical counsels, and taken as a vow among religious orders.
		In this context of religious vows, poverty may be understood as a means of self-denial in order to place oneself at the service of others; Pope Honorius III wrote in 1217 that the Dominicans "lived a life of voluntary poverty, exposing themselves to innumerable dangers and sufferings, for the salvation of others".

	Student nurses need better understanding of poverty-stricken patients
		While the students are taught in class about the issues surrounding poverty, they sometimes have difficulty grasping the dynamics and complexities of it, said Dr. Linda Reutter, a professor of nursing at the University of Alberta, and one of the lead authors on the study.
		Misconceptions about poverty that lead to insensitive care may prevent the poor from seeking the help they require from front-line health-care workers, according to Reutter and her fellow researchers.
		The students felt they had limited exposure to poverty through their coursework, and believed there should be a greater emphasis on exploring its influence on health, particularly the societal factors that contribute to poverty and its negative influence on health.
