This study aimed to explore the effect of psychophysiological stress and socio-emotional competencies on clinical performance during a simulationexperience. A pre-test/post-test design was used to assess physiological (blood pressure, heartrate and blood oxygen saturation) and psychological parameters (stress and anxiety) as well associo-emotional skills (cognitive load, self-efficacy and motivation) in nursing students (n = 40) beforeand after the simulation of a cardiopulmonary resuscitation practice. Physiological responses showedstatistically significant differences between pre-test and post-test conditions for blood pressure andheart rate (p < 0.0001). Moderate and significant correlations were also observed when comparing self-efficacy with stress (r = −0.445, p = 0.004), anxiety (r = −0.467, p = 0.002) and motivation(r = −0.406, p = 0.009) measures. Similarly, cognitive-load dimensions were significantly associatedwith either physiological (r = −0.335, p = 0.034) or psychological (r = −0.448, p = 0.004) indicators.The analysis of multiple regression models revealed a relationship between the effectiveness ofthe simulated experience, post-test blood oxygen saturation, heart rate, workload and self-efficacy(R2 = 0.490; F (3, 39) = 8.305; p < 0.0001; d = 1.663). Therefore, the evaluation of psychophysiologicalparameters and socio-emotional skills seems to provide a promising framework for predicting thequality of simulated clinical practices.
