Stress responses in high-fidelity simulation among anesthesiology students.

ABSTRACT: Simulation sessions can produce high-fidelity emergency situations that facilitate the learning process. These sessions may also generate a complex stress response in the learners. This prospective observational study assessed psychological, physiological, immunological, and humoral levels of stress during high-fidelity simulation training. Fifty-six undergraduate medicine students who took part in a medical simulation session were assigned team roles (physician, nurse or assistant). Subsequently, each participant was assessed before the scenario (T₀), after the procedure (T₁), and two hours later (T₂). Psychological stress and anxiety were measured at T₀ and T₁, using the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI) and Dundee Stress State Qu
