  • The review categorizes interventions like problem-based learning, medical humanities, simulation, and reflection, and analyzes how students respond emotionally, cognitively, and behaviorally to uncertainty.
  • Despite mostly positive outcomes, some studies report negative emotional responses, indicating a need for further research to understand how to better support students' emotional resilience when dealing with uncertainty.]
