Monitoring Nursing Students' Stress Levels During High-Fidelity Simulation Using an Electronic Wristband Device.

Simulation can effectively enhance the clinical reasoning skills of nursing students. However, it can also lead to increased stress levels with a potential impact on learning outcomes. We monitored nursing students' stress using the E4 © wristband and evaluated the effects of a brief debriefing intervention on stress and overall satisfaction during simulation. Using a randomized controlled study design, we collected quantitative data and real-time stress measurements. Tailored debriefing interventions have the potential to improve overall well-being and learning satisfaction.
