  • Employed objective measures including the Finding A's Test and Symbol Digits Modalities Test.

    • Main Results:

    • A significant within-subject effect was observed on the Attentional Functional Index (p < .05).
    • The Finding A's Test showed a significant within-subject effect (p < .05).
    • The Symbol Digits Modalities Test demonstrated significant within- and between-subject effects (p < .05).

    Conclusions:

    • Managing attention fatigue is crucial for nursing students.
    • Natural environment interventions can enhance students' attention capacity.
    • These strategies may lead to an improved academic experience for Post-RN students.
