AB [EN] The extent of anxiety and psychological stress can impact upon the optimal performanceof simulation-based practices. The current study investigates the association between di erencesin skin temperature and perceived anxiety by under- (n = 21) and post-graduate (n = 19) nursingstudents undertaking a cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) training. Thermal facial gradientsfrom selected facial regions were correlated with the scores assessed by the State-Trait AnxietyInventory (STAI) and the chest compression quality parameters measured using mannequin-integratedaccelerometer sensors. A specific temperature profile was obtained depending on thermal facialvariations before and after the simulation event. Statistically significant correlations were foundbetween STAI scale scores and the temperature facial recordings in the forehead (r = 0.579; p < 0.000),periorbital (r = 0.394; p < 0.006), maxillary (r = 0.328; p < 0.019) and neck areas (r = 0.284; p < 0.038).Significant associations were also observed by correlating CPR performance parameters with the facialtemperature values in the forehead (r = 0.447; p < 0.002), periorbital (r = 0.446; p < 0.002) and maxillaryareas (r = 0.422; p < 0.003). These preliminary findings suggest that higher anxiety levels resultin poorer clinical performance and can be correlated to temperature variations in certain facial regions
