Abstract:
Background: Perceived stress refers to an individual’s subjective evaluation of the stressors in their environment. It is influenced by personal characteristics, contextual factors, and available coping resources. Symptoms of perceived stress can be physical, such as headache, fatigue, sleep disturbances, and muscle tension, or emotional, including anxiety, irritability, mood swings, and feelings of being overwhelmed. Stress among nursing students is particularly high due to academic demands, clinical rotations, and the requirements of healthcare training. Guided meditation, particularly deep breathing exercises, has been identified as an effective intervention to manage stress by reducing physiological arousal, alleviating physical tension, improving concentration, and promoting relaxation.
Aim: The present study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of video-assisted guided meditation on perceived stress among B.Sc Nursing students.
Materials and methods: A pre-experimental one-group pre-test post-test design was employed. Three nursing colleges in Bagalkot were randomly selected, and 30 first-year B.Sc Nursing students from each college were recruited using convenience sampling, yielding a total sample of 90 participants. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire developed by the researcher.
Result: The mean pre-test perceived stress score was 24.14±4.70, which decreased to 11.92±2.22 in post-test. The calculated ‘t’ value was 2.35, exceeding the critical value of 1.96 (P<0.000) indicating a statistically significant reduction in perceived stress following the intervention.
Conclusion: These findings demonstrate that video-assisted guided meditation is an effective strategy to reduce perceived stress among first-year B.Sc Nursing students and may be considered as a supportive intervention to enhance student well-being in nursing education.
