Stress Management Training Improves Overall Performance during Critical Simulated Situations A Prospective Randomized Controlled Trial

Conclusions Residents coping with simulated critical situations who have been trained with Tactics to Optimize the Potential showed better overall performance and a decrease in stress level during high-fidelity simulation. The benefits of this stress management training may be explored in actual clinical settings, where a 5-min Tactics to Optimize the Potential reactivation is feasible prior to delivering a specific intervention.Editor ’s PerspectiveWhat We Already Know about This TopicStress may be associated with impaired performance on cognitive tasksStress management training may lead to a reduced response to stressWhat This Article Tells Us That Is NewStress management training may improve performance among trainees subjected to a stressful simulated clinical environment
