Research into stress and simulation

Posted: Aug 14, 2019

And so it starts. Piloting the bioharness integration with the Zero Latency ADA harness prior to a series of simulation and stress studies led by TRU’s Dr Elisa Canetti. This study will compare levels of stress in Veterans and Non Veterans exposed to an intensive simulation (Zero Latency scenarios). In addition, student stress responses from a Zero Latency zombie apocalypse will be compared to physiotherapy simulated patient assessments. Theory 1: It is better to partner up with a Vet if you want to survive the apocalypse as they will be less stressed. Theory 2: For students, facing a simulated patient exam is like facing a zombie apocalypse.
