  • Title: Psychosocial vital signs: using simulation to introduce a new concept.
    Author: Spade CM.
    Journal: Nurse Educ; 2008; 33(4):181-6. PubMed ID: 18600161.
    Abstract:
    Psychosocial vital signs (PVS) is a tool used for defining and measuring essential psychosocial variables of health. Because nurse-patient interaction is basic to PVS, simulation is the methodology used for introducing this new concept to students. When learning PVS as a fundamental nursing skill, students' thinking is informed and guided toward a holistic view of their patients. The author discusses components of PVS and the curriculum used for teaching students how to use PVS.
