Brief Summary

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

SObjective and Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) has been incorporated recently in the certification process as a final national undergraduate ranking examination. This exam is an additional major stressor for medical students.

The aim of this study was to compare the efficiency on stress reduction of a standardized relaxing breathing occuring during rotation of the OSCE stations just before the start of the next upcoming OSCE station, in medical student, during the OSCE.

Detailed Description

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

Stress generated during the curriculum might have deleterious effects on the wellbeing and the health of medical students. Objective and Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs) has been incorporated recently in the certification process as a final national undergraduate ranking examination. This exam is 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 a standardized relaxing breathing as a coping interventions occuring during rotation of the OSCE stations just before the start of the next upcoming OSCE station, in medical student, during the OSCE.
