Summary
This study looked at whether progressive relaxation exercises could help first-year nursing students feel less stressed and more resilient before starting clinical practice. Eighty students were split into two groups: one did eight relaxation sessions over four weeks, the other did not. Researchers measured stress, resilience, and sense of meaning in life using standard questionnaires.
