Music and breathing beat anxiety in nursing students
NCT ID NCT07425847
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether listening to Turkish classical music or doing a simple breathing exercise (4-7-8 technique) could reduce anxiety in 97 first-year nursing students during IV drug administration training. Students were split into three groups: music, breathing, or no intervention. Anxiety was measured before and after the session. The goal was to see if these easy, drug-free methods could help students feel calmer during a stressful learning experience.
