Background: Undergraduate health professionals clearly experience anxiety during simulation. However, little is known regarding learners' physiological and psychological responses and the influence of these responses on performance.
Method: An integrative review was undertaken to provide a comprehensive understanding of the influence of anxiety on undergraduate health professionals' performance during simulation, and to review the tools and measurements reported in the healthcare literature.
Result: Eleven articles were included showing simulation aroused learners physiologically and psychologically, either improving or declining clinical performance.
Conclusion: Two contrasting perceptions emerged, which are indicative of the current lack of understanding regarding the effects of anxiety on performance in a simulation setting.
