Smartwatches track nursing student stress during IV exam
NCT ID NCT07464652
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether a hands-on exam called OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Examination) changes stress levels and IV insertion skills in nursing students. Fifty-two students will be split into two groups: one takes the OSCE, the other does not. Stress is measured with questionnaires and smartwatches, and skills are checked with a detailed checklist.
