Autonomic stress response of nurse students in an objective structured clinical examination (OSCE). Sustainability, 13(11), 5803. https://doi.org/10.3390/su131158032071-1050http://hdl.handle.net/11268/12293The aim of the present research was to analyze the autonomic stress response of nursing students in a nursing Objective Structured Clinical Evaluation (OSCE). We analyzed, in 41 s-year nursing degree students (20.1 +/- 2.3 years), modifications in heart rate variability (HRV) to monitor the autonomic stress response before, during and after the 18 different scenarios of a complete OSCE. Heart rate mean response of nurse students was consistent with an anticipatory anxiety response at the beginning of the OSCE, showing a sympathetic nervous system activation, but HRV parameters show contradictory results. The most stressful OSCE station was the CPR maneuver, the stress response varying according to the station's demands.engAttribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 Internacionalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/Estrés PsicológicoEstudiantes de Enfermeríajournal article10.3390/su13115803open accessEstudiante universitarioEstrés mental
