Anxiety and performance

In the world of sport, athletes and their trainers see competitive emotions and, in particular, performance anxiety as one of the most important factors likely to influence the outcome of a sports competition. These emotions attract such vast interest because even today they continue to raise many questions. While positive emotions are generally considered to be largely facilitative to an athlete's performance, the link between negative emotions, and particularly competitive anxiety, and performance seems less unanimous. Some view anxiety as a phenomenon which hampers performance; for them, an anxious athlete is a fragile one. Others view anxiety as a driver and give as examples those athletes who only perform well under the pressure of competition and the anxious state it elicits. There is currently no single model for the relationship between anxiety (or emotions) and performance on which everybody agrees, in spite of the fact that the scientific community has been striving for some time to better understand the links between them. Research carried out to confirm these links has produced inconsistent results which are difficult to interpret as the variables measured (anxiety, emotional states, performance) and the framework of the studies (characteristics of the participants, importance of the sports event) most often differ.

Transferability of Medication Administration Simulation Training to Clinical Settings

The study examines the impact of one-on-one simulation for medication administration (MA) on prelicensure student preparedness for and performance of MA in the clinical setting.We used a prospective quasi-experimental interventional study applying Kirkpatrick's model to the simulation experience addressing MA.Simulation increased student preparedness. Students' critical thinking and approach during the MA process were significantly higher in the clinical setting.One-on-one MA simulation is an effective educational method for improving student learning and performance in practice.     

Association between body mass index and clinical outcomes of patients after cardiac arrest and resuscitation: A meta-analysis

Background

Obesity as one of the risk factors for cardiovascular diseases increases mortality in general population. Several clinical studies investigated clinical outcomes in patients with different body mass index (BMI) after cardiac arrest (CA). Controversial data regarding BMI on clinical outcomes in those patients exist in those studies. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis to evaluate the effect of BMI on survival condition and neurological prognosis in those patients.
