Use of Portable Digital Devices to Analyze Autonomic Stress Response in Psychology Objective Structured Clinical Examination. Journal of medical systems, 42(2), 35. https://doi.org/10.1007/s10916-018-0893-x0148-55981573-689Xhttp://hdl.handle.net/11268/7603The aim of the present study was to explore changes in the autonomic stress response of Psychology students in a Psychology Objective Structured Clinical Examination (OSCE) and their relationship with OSCE performance. Variables of autonomic modulation by the analysis of heart rate variability in temporal, frequency and non-linear domains, subjective perception of distress strait and academic performance were measured before and after the two different evaluations that composed the OSCE. A psychology objective structured clinical examination composed by two different evaluation scenarios produced a large anxiety anticipatory response, a habituation response in the first of the evaluation scenarios and a in the entire evaluation, and a no habituation response in the second evaluation scenario. Autonomic modulation parameters do not correlate with academic performance of students.engjournal article10.1007/s10916-018-0893-xrestricted accessFuerzas armadasEstrés mentalEstrés mentalFuerzas armadasEfectos fisiológicos
