Summary
This study tested two simple, drug-free ways to help nursing students feel less anxious before a big practical exam. One group colored mandala patterns, and the other did a short meditation called Twin Hearts. Both methods helped lower anxiety, but the meditation group showed a bigger drop in nervousness. The study involved 100 students and measured their anxiety levels before and after each activity.
