Study Overview

Brief Summary

This is a prospective randomized controlled study. The aim of this study is to

  1. describe the stress patterns experienced during a CPR situation;
  2. investigate whether the perceived stress was associated with CPR performance in terms of hands-on time and time to start CPR;
  3. to investigate whether this task focusing strategy reduces perceived stress levels, and
  4. whether this translates into better CPR performance. Based on findings that clear, directive leadership can enhance performance in cardiac resuscitation, we further 5) investigate if stress was associated with fewer leadership statements.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

perceived levels of stress and feeling overwhelmed (stress/overload)

Time Frame: time from start of CPR until scenario is finished (usually 5-10min)

This is a simulator study and the study starts after students entered the simulator and the manikin has a cardiac arrest. The scenarios usually last for not more than 5-10 min at which time point the study is finished

Secondary Outcomes

  • hands-on time(time from start of CPR until scenario is finished (usually 5-10min))
  • time to start CPR(time from start of CPR until scenario is finished (usually 5-10min))
  • Number of leadership statements(time from start of CPR until scenario is finished (usually 5-10min))
