How a hands-on exam affects stress in medical students
Part of Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how a type of hands-on exam (the OSCE) affects stress levels in medical students. If you're a medical student willing to join, you can help researchers understand exam stress better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study looks at job stress among ophthalmologists (eye doctors) and ophthalmology residents. It may help improve working conditions and support for people in eye care.
This trial measures how medical students' bodies respond to stress during realistic, simulated conversations with patients. It uses wearable monitors to track heart rate and other signals, and the results might help improve how future doctors are trained to handle stressful interactions.
This study measures stress levels in nursing students during a practical exam on inserting an IV catheter. It aims to understand how first-time exam takers react to this common nursing procedure.
This study looks at how medical trainees handle stress during a realistic simulation training. It aims to see if a stress management program can help you perform better and feel less anxious in emergency situations.
This study tests whether a short, relaxing breathing exercise before each part of a practical exam helps medical students feel calmer and perform better. If you are a medical student taking this exam, this study might help you manage stress.
This study tests whether playing games or engaging in playful activities can reduce stress and anxiety before exams. Researchers will measure brain activity using EEG (a non-invasive cap that reads brain waves) and artificial intelligence to see if play helps you feel calmer.
