Overview

Cross-sectional study evaluates anxiety and acceptance of the OSCE among nursing students, indicating the need for targeted interventions.

Key Points

  • Higher cognitive and physiological anxiety was reported by female nursing students, linked to fear of mistakes.
  • Third-year students reported more physical symptoms of anxiety but evaluated the OSCE more positively than fourth-year students.
  • The OSCE is recognized as a valuable assessment tool, yet it also evokes significant anxiety among nursing students.
  • Gender and academic year differences emphasize the need for tailored support strategies during OSCE assessments.
