Summary

This study tested whether mandala coloring or twin hearts meditation works better to calm exam anxiety. One hundred nursing students tried one of the two methods right before a practical exam. Researchers measured their anxiety levels before and after to see which approach helped more.

What this could lead to
If this trial succeeds, it could point toward simple, drug-free ways to help students manage exam anxiety before practical tests.
What could go wrong
This is a small, single-center study with only 100 participants, so results may not apply to all students or settings. The interventions are brief and effects may be short-lived.
