The use of simulation in the teaching-learning process contributes significantly to professional practice, thus, the general objective of this study is to analyze the characteristics of anxiety in psychology students who participated acting as psychologists in the simulation environment. For that reason, semi-structured interviews were conducted that demonstrated that simulation, besides giving autonomy and contributing to the development of professional skills, also proved to be a viable tool for coping with anxiety states.
