Summary
This study looked at whether watching nature scenes in virtual reality (VR) or as regular 2D videos can help nursing students feel less stressed during a tough clinical exam called an OSCE. Sixty students took part, and researchers measured their anxiety levels and heart rate changes. The goal was to see if a short, calming nature break could ease exam-related stress.
