Summary

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