Summary:This study examined how students' knowledge of their learning styles affected their anxiety and clinical performance. In a graduate program of nurse anesthesiology with a sample size of 43 students, results indicated that, over time, students who were aware of their learning styles demonstrated less anxiety than those who were not. Knowledge of learning styles also improved clinical performance in the cognitive and affective domains. Recommendations for schools of nurse anesthesiology are discussed.
