First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at whether a creative drama-based stress management program could help nursing students feel less stressed, cope better, and improve their emotional intelligence. 49 nursing students took part, with some doing drama sessions and others receiving standard training. The results showed how the two groups compared right after the program and one month later.
