Effects of Simulation Versus Traditional Tutorial-Based Training on Physiologic Stress Levels Among Clinicians: A Pilot Study

Abstract

After high-fidelity SBT within the gastroenterology suite, clinicians independent of their role demonstrated increased physiologic stress levels-as measured by HR and SC levels-compared with traditional IET sessions. The study provides novel calibration data compared with a traditional baseline for future investigations aimed at further understanding the dose-response curve of simulation-based experiences to optimize emotionality, cognition, and learning.
