Summary
This study tested two simple, drug-free ways to help nursing students feel calmer before a big practical exam. One group colored in mandala patterns, while the other did a short meditation called Twin Hearts Meditation. Both methods helped lower anxiety, but the meditation worked better. The results suggest that taking a few minutes to meditate or color can make a real difference for students facing stressful tests.
