Brief Summary

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.

Conditions

Performance Anxiety; Stress; Coping Skills

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

• PERFORMANCE

  Score at the objectif structured clinical examination exam from 0 minimum to 200 points maximum

  obtained seven days after the objectif structured clinical examination

Secondary Outcomes (2)

• Mean Difference of Inner Resource

  Two times : 10 minutes before objectif structured clinical examination (before training of intervention) and just 2 minutes after training of the intervention)

• Mean difference of perceived impact of the intervention on performance

  Just five minutes after the objectif structured clinical examination
