Summary

Introduction: Test anxiety, one of the forms of situational anxiety, is a crucial biopsychological factor negatively affecting the wellbeing and academic performance of students throughout their education. The study aims to determine the effects of music therapy and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) on situational anxiety and vital signs in nursing students before they take the OSCE (Objective Structured Clinical Exam). The study was a randomized controlled experimental study and conducted with 90 volunteering students studying at the Faculty of Health Sciences, Department of Nursing at a university in Istanbul. A computer-based random number generator was used to randomly assign the students into three groups (Music, EFT, and control), each of which consisted of 30 students. Data collection was carried out using a Student Identification Form, the Situational Anxiety Scale, and the Vital Signs Form.
