The aims of this study were: i. to analyze the effect of nationality on the psychophysiological stress response of physiotherapy last year students in their final degree dissertations; and ii. to analyze the relationship between the stress response and academic results according to nationality. We evaluated the autonomic stress response, cortical arousal, distress subjective perception, and objective and subjective academic fulfilment in Spanish, Italian, and French physiotherapy students during their final degree dissertation. Results showed a large anticipatory anxiety response before the dissertation in the three student groups. Only the Spanish group showed an increased tendency in the habituation process, reducing the psychophysiological stress response during the dissertation, while the Italian and French groups maintained a large sympathetic activation until the end of the dissertation. Cortical arousal and subjective perception of distress were similar in the three nationalities. In addition, no correlation between academic fulfilment and autonomic modulation was found. We concluded that there was no nationality effect in the psychophysiological stress response of physiotherapy last year students in their final degree dissertation, all of them showing a large anticipatory anxiety response.
i. 分析国籍对物理治疗专业去年学生在其毕业论文中的心理生理应激反应的影响；ii. 分析根据国籍的不同，应激反应与学业成绩之间的关系。我们评估了西班牙、意大利和法国物理治疗专业学生在撰写毕业论文时的自主应激反应、皮质唤醒、痛苦主观感知，以及客观和主观学业成绩。结果表明，三组学生在论文撰写前均表现出较大的预期焦虑反应。只有西班牙组在习惯化过程中表现出增加的趋势，降低了论文撰写过程中的心理生理应激反应，而意大利组和法国组则一直保持较大的交感神经激活，直到论文结束。三个国家的皮质唤醒和痛苦主观感知相似。此外，学业成绩与自主调节之间没有相关性。我们得出结论，在物理治疗专业去年学生在其毕业论文中的心理生理应激反应中，没有国籍效应，所有学生均表现出较大的预期焦虑反应。
