Teaching and learning strategies

Abstract

A systematic review using PRISMA was completed to identify strategies that can be used by nursing faculty to reduce test-taking anxiety among nursing. Muscle relaxation, deep breathing, psychological and educational counseling, co-meditation, emotional freedom technique, music intervention and aromatherapy showed the greatest statistical significance for reducing text-anxiety among nursing students.
