简要总结
Stress generated during the curriculum might have deleterious effects on the wellbeing and the health of medical students. Objective and Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) will be incorporated soon in the certification process as a final national undergraduate ranking examination. This exam will be an additional major stressor for medical students.
Stress coping strategies could be implemented to help them better prepare for this examination. The aim of this study was to compare the efficiency on stress reduction of three different 6-minutes coping interventions in medical student, few minutes prior to the OSCE.
详细描述
This randomized, controlled and monocentric study will be conducted during the OSCE tests contributing towards the final exam grades for 4th year medicine students at the Claude Bernard Lyon 1 university.All the students will receive information for the study and sign consent before being randomized into four interventions groups. All the interventions will last six minutes long.
The randomisation groups are:
- Mindfulness through watching/listening video tape
- Mobilization of inner resources through watching/listening video tape
- Cardiac biofeedback guided standardized timing for respiratory rate and with immediate feedback on cardiac variability score
- Unemotional video tape as controlled group
Psychological stress will be measured using short questionnaires and self-rated Visual Analogue Scale (from 0 to 100mm) regarding perceived stress, answered by students before and after intervention. For measuring physiological stress, all the student will be equipped with emWAve® devices that allows us to record heart rate variability during the time of intervention. Students will also answer a questionnaire of personality.
Main objective is to show that interventions are better than control to reduce stress level before OSCE.
