Abstract in brief

  • The study found that when surgical training occurs in a relaxed, informal setting without stressful conditions, students can learn dexterous skills more quickly and effectively.
  • Measurements of anxiety and arousal showed no significant link to skill performance, suggesting that low stress levels help accelerate learning.
  • The results imply that removing stress from training environments—using simple and affordable tools like simulators—could improve surgical education and possibly other skill-based learning areas.]
