| Purpose: |
|
This study proposes to compare the effectiveness of an acceptance-based intervention and a
cognitive control-based intervention for coping with test anxiety in nursing students during
the HESI (Health Education Systems, Inc.) examination.
Subjects will be randomized to receive either the CT or the ACT condition. In both
conditions, subjects will receive an education on test anxiety to inform them about what
test anxiety is and why it occurs. Then, the different conditions will receive the
respective treatment of either CT or ACT. The study is considered minimum risk because the
nursing students will only be exposed to an amount of anxiety that is typical of their
testing experience. Both conditions will meet three times, with each session lasting
approximately one and a half hours. The purpose of the treatment is to provide subjects with
tools to help them cope with their test anxiety.
