Summary

This study looked at whether a short mental training session could help anesthesia residents feel less stressed before performing an epidural on a pregnant patient. Thirty-two residents were split into two groups: one got mental preparation, the other did not. Researchers measured their anxiety levels and technical skills during a simulated procedure. The goal is to find better ways to train doctors for high-stress situations.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
Mental training session (a procedure)
What this could lead to
If it works, this could point toward a simple, low-cost way to help doctors manage stress and perform better during high-pressure procedures.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early study with only 32 participants. Results may not apply to all residents or real-world settings, and stress measurement can be subjective.

Show the full entry requirements

Copied word for word from the study's registry entry, so the wording is the study team's rather than ours.

Inclusion Criteria: Eligible subjects for this study were anaesthesia and intensive care residents enrolled at the Faculty of Medicine and Pharmacy in Rouen. Residents were eligible if they were in the early stages of training (second and third years of residency) and had previously performed lumbar epidural anaesthesia multiple times in a maternity setting. Exclusion Criteria: Exclusion criteria included first-year residents, as not all had performed obstetric lumbar epidural anaesthesia at the time of the study, and senior residents (fourth and fifth years).
