Quick mindfulness training may ease nursing Students' First-Day jitters

This study tested whether a brief mindfulness training program could reduce stress in first-year nursing students on their first clinical day. Sixty-three students were randomly assigned to either receive four short mindfulness sessions or no training. Researchers measured their stress and mindfulness levels using standard questionnaires. The goal is to see if a short, practical intervention can help students cope better with the anxiety of starting clinical practice.
