Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This observational study evaluates the stress levels of medical students using heart rate variability measurements during different types of examinations, including a standardized objective clinical examination (OSCE) and a classic table examination. The study involves three measurement points: during the OSCE, during a traditional exam, and on a control day without exams. The aim is to objectively quantify the stress experienced by students in these high-pressure situations, providing valuable data on their physiological responses. This research is particularly relevant as it addresses a common concern among medical students regarding exam-related stress.
