Stress responses and experiences of surgical trainees in simulation-based training of advanced laparoscopic procedures in highly realistic environments
In this study, no significant differences were identified in trainees' physiological or self-reported stress responses across the two simulation settings. However, qualitative interview data revealed that trainees perceived greater stress when training with animal models in highly realistic operating room environments, suggesting the potential educational value of such immersive simulation environments.
