Threshold-anxiety in medical students performing a prehospital high-fidelity clinical simulation: Randomized clinical trial
Polytrauma and anaphylactic shock scenarios are more likely to induce extreme anxiety levels in final-year medical students during high-fidelity clinical simulations. Educators must be aware of these potential anxiety levels and carefully design the scenarios, providing adequate preparation and facilitating effective debriefing to optimize learning and mitigate the negative effects of excessive anxiety.
