    Study on the effect of stress training on surgeons

    Zoë Maher et al.

    February 2013

    Anti-Stress & Burnout

    In Philadelphia , scientists attempted to increase surgeons ' stress management skills and thus their medical performance and resilience by means of stress training.

    The sample for the blind study was randomly divided into a control group (n = 15) and an intervention group (n = 11). The latter took part in three three-hour stress training seminars. Both groups then completed the simulation of a stress situation.

    The subjects' stress response was analyzed on the basis of defined physiological criteria. The intervention group showed 5% better values than the control group. There was no difference in heart rate or the State Trait Anxiety Inventory between the groups.

    The study therefore showed a tendency towards improved stress management after stress training, but no significant change.

    Nevertheless, 91% of the test subjects rated the stress training as useful.
