Table 1 Sport Competition and Anxiety Test. Questions removed from final SCAT score - ”operating with others is enjoyable”, ”I feel I am a good surgeon when I operate”, ”setting a goal is important when operating”, ”I like to perform technically demanding procedures” and “operating in a team is more enjoyable than operating alone”. The word “compete” was replaced with “operate” to make the test applicable to surgeons.
