Psychophysiological Stress Response in Medical Students During Simulation-Based Communication Training -Study Protocol
Sponsor: Masaryk University
Summary
In this study, researchers will examine key predictors of stress reactions in medical students participating in simulation-based communication training. By using psychometric questionnaires and physiological measurements, the study will assess how psychological traits, resilience, and self-efficacy impact stress responses during simulated patient interactions. These simulations use live actors to portray emotionally challenging scenarios, such as communicating with anxious or aggressive patients. The results aim to identify factors that contribute to heightened stress, ultimately guiding the development of targeted stress-management strategies to improve students' readiness for real-world clinical settings.

Simulation-Based Communication Training
In our study, the intervention is more of an experimental situation - a scenario. High-fidelity scenarios include patients played by real actors displaying anxiety, aggression, silence, and emotional distress in various clinical situations such as delivering serious news or frustration for waiting for physicians. The average time of each simulation is 12 minutes.
