Patient-reported outcome measures (PROMs) are increasingly embedded in healthcare and becoming more visible in clinical settings, meaning that nurses are likely to encounter and engage with them in practice. PROMs, originating from quality of life assessments, are standardized tools designed to capture patients’ health status, functional ability, and wellbeing. Although initially developed for research purposes and quality improvement, they are now applied at the point of care to aid in priority setting and clinical decision making. Because PROMs seek the patient’s perspective, they are often linked to person-centred care (PCC). However, their effectiveness in advancing PCC depends on how they are used. When applied uncritically, PROMs can risk reinforcing inequities and lack person-centredness. The intent of this presentation is to argue that undergraduate nursing education must intentionally prepare students to engage with PROMs in ways that are equitable and person-centred. Achieving this requires not only knowledge of PROMs as assessment tools but also critical awareness of the theoretical and practical tensions they carry. Nurse educators have a unique opportunity to address these tensions through simulation-based learning. Simulation offers a pedagogical space where students can engage experientially with PROM use, critically reflecting on assumptions and interpretations both in practice and during debriefing. By situating PROMs within scenarios that highlight issues of equity, communication, and understanding, simulation can foster reflective and transformative learning. This presentation will be based on a manuscript that positions PROMs within healthcare and nursing, examines their relationship to PCC, and proposes simulation as a strategy to equip students with the skills and perspectives necessary to navigate the complexities of PROM use. In doing so, this work contributes to the broader goal of nursing education: preparing students to deliver equitable, person-centred care across diverse populations and settings.
