Nursing Students’ Anxiety and Clinical Performance

Journal of Nursing Education, 2011

This study examined how mood states affect nursing students' performance on a treatment procedure consisting of a novel combination of familiar clinical steps. Thirty 3 rd -and 4 th -year Hong Kong Chinese nursing students were first taught the procedure and then, in randomly-assigned counterbalanced order, given both an anxious-mood and a calm-mood induction. Anxiety was induced by a video-clip of interviews with frontline nurses and doctors during the SARS epidemic in Hong Kong; calmness was induced by a video-clip of a nursing student's pleasant orientation to a clinical placement site. Nursing students were significantly less proficient at performing the newly-acquired procedure after an anxious-mood induction (focused on occupational risks) than after a calm-mood induction. Managing clinical-training-site anxiety among nursing students, then, may help to optimize learning and clinical performance.
