How medical students' bodies respond to stress in simulated patient talks
This study looks at how medical students' bodies react to stress during simulated conversations with patients. By measuring things like heart rate and sweat, researchers hope to understand how training can help students handle stressful situations better.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must be a 3rd-year medical student at Masaryk University.
- You must be enrolled in the Medical Psychology and Psychosomatics course.
- You must take part in the simulation-based communication training sessions.
- You must agree to wear devices that measure your body's stress response (like a chest strap) during the simulations.
- You must be willing to complete all parts of the study, including surveys before and after the simulations.
