Background and Aim: The integration of health economics into nursing education is essential, considering the increasing complexity of healthcare delivery and the need for cost-effective practices. This study examines the necessity and implications of incorporating health economics into undergraduate nursing curricula in Iran
Materials and methods: In this descriptive review, we conducted an electronic search in PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar databases using Persian and English keywords, such as "Education," "Health Economics," and "Nursing". Studies related to health professionals and nurses in particular, published between 2000 and 2024 were included in this review. From 600 initial studies identified, 15 were selected after being screened for duplicates and methodological quality. Data were analyzed qualitatively, focusing on nursing economics, the role of health economics in care quality and cost effectiveness, and also the necessity of health economics education in Iran’s nursing curricula.
Results: The findings revealed a major need for the inclusion of health economics in nursing curricula in Iran. The reviewed studies showed that nurses with health economics training could better understand and manage the financial aspects of healthcare, leading to improved patient outcomes and cost effectiveness. Hospitals with higher nurse-to-patient ratio and economically trained nurses reported better financial performance and higher patient satisfaction.
Conclusion: Incorporating health economics into nursing education is crucial for improving healthcare quality and cost effectiveness. Policymakers and educational institutions should revise nursing curricula in favor of including this subject, which equips nurses with the skills needed to make informed financial decisions that enhance healthcare delivery and resource management.
