Surgical performance anxiety among UK oral and maxillofacial surgeons.

Br J Oral Maxillofac Surg

December 2024

Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery Department, King's College Hospital NHS Trust, London SE5 9RS, United Kingdom.

This study of clinicians working in oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS) in the United Kingdom (UK) investigates the prevalence and character of surgical performance anxiety (SPA), a state of anxiety in response to negative evaluation by others concerning the performance of a surgical task. There is growing awareness of the impact of non-technical skills on patient outcomes with some research into SPA, but this is not OMFS-specific, and the understanding of performance anxiety in surgery falls behind comparable performance-driven professions. A prospective mixed-methods study was therefore conducted among UK OMFS clinicians using an electronic survey.
