Virtual nature calms exam jitters in nursing students
NCT ID NCT07349563
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether watching nature scenes in virtual reality (VR) or as regular 2D videos could help nursing students feel less stressed during a tough clinical exam called an OSCE. Sixty students took part, and researchers measured their stress using heart rate and questionnaires. The goal was to see if a short nature break before the exam could ease anxiety and improve focus.
