Summary
This study tested whether a 10-15 minute immersive virtual reality session using games like Beat Saber could reduce anxiety and stress in nursing students before they entered clinical practice. 90 students were randomly assigned to either use VR goggles or follow their usual preparation. Researchers measured anxiety, stress, adaptation, and satisfaction. The goal is to see if a brief VR break can help students feel more relaxed and focused.
