Summary

This study is looking at whether test anxiety during final exams is linked to bowel problems and constipation in university students. About 200 students will fill out questionnaires about their anxiety and digestive health. The goal is to better understand how mental stress might affect the gut, but no treatment or intervention is being tested.
