Hi All... So we have all experienced it at some stage... Performance damanging anxiety when someone is watching and grading you. During my first prac it still felt like the good old OSPE days when you get overly shaken up from the experience so miss out curcial things from your Ax, find it harder to multi task (observe all joints at once, perform a correct technique and take in findings as well as talk to a patient n write findings down e.t.c). Overall you appear less confident/ competent and find it harder to establish patient rapour.... EEk dissapointment :)
So it is much less stressfull for us all now currently finishing prac 3... However, I do now find it sometimes necessary to explain my learning style to my supervisor so I can maximise my learning and performance. I also ask how the Ax is conducted and if I feel the need, ask if it can be a bit adapted :) For example, to interrupt as little as possible and ask later if applicable so I dont loose flow of the Rx session. This is also so I can more easily forget that they are watching ha, ha... So does anyone else have ways in which they try to adapt their Ax situation or tricks and handy hints up their sleeve to perform well during Ax's...
