Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Being an anesthesiologist implies huge dedication and both physical and psychological efforts. None has ever studied the impact of a working day on anxiety, perceived stress levels, physiological data, and executive functions.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

During a working day, trainees will have their physiological and psychological data recorded before starting their clinical activity and after them. Electrodermal activity with the eSense device, Executive functions through the TOL-R and all the questionnaires and scales will be sampled at the beginning of the day and at the end of the day the same procedure will be applied again (exclusion for PSS-10 scale, STAY-Y trait anxiety and GAD-7) eSense and TOL-R, are useful tools to understand sympathetic activity and executive functions. The galvanometer it is the gold standard to measure EDA; i.e. electrodermal activity, which is a pure sympathetic index, while Tower of London it is the gold standard to assess planning, monitoring and programming skills, both data are supposed to be heavily involved in an anesthesiologist trainee during the all day.

The aims of the study are to evaluate executive functions at the start and at the end of a working day and to understand theirs relationship with anxiety, perceived stress levels and physiological changes in sympathetic activity.
