Virtual Reality to Reduce Stress Among Nursing Students Before Final Exams
NCT: NCT07574203 · COMPLETED
Brief Summary
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate whether a brief virtual reality (VR) relaxation session can reduce pre-exam stress levels among undergraduate nursing students enrolled in nursing courses. The participant population includes male and female nursing students, aged 20-26 years, who are preparing to take their final practical exam. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1. Does a 10-minute, self-selected VR relaxation session significantly reduce stress levels immediately before a high-stakes clinical exam? 2. Are certain types of virtual environments (e.g., beach, island, space, ocean) more effective than others in promoting relaxation? Researchers will compare pre- and post-intervention stress scores to see if the VR experience results in a statistically significant reduction in perceived stress. Participants will: * Complete a brief pre-intervention stress survey (e.g., using a validated scale such as the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory). * Explore several calming VR environments (e.g., tropical beaches, islands, deep ocean, space, savanna, and tourist destinations). * Choose one preferred scene based on personal relaxation preference. * Engage in a 10-minute immersive VR relaxation session. * Complete a post-intervention stress survey to assess any changes.
