First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study tested whether a 10-minute virtual reality (VR) relaxation session could help nursing students feel less stressed right before a big exam. Fifty students chose a calming VR scene—like a beach or space—and rated their stress before and after. The goal was to see if this quick, drug-free break could ease test anxiety.
