Abstract:
The aim of this pilot study was to evaluate the impact of a brief biofeedback intervention on nursing students' resilience and worry. The efficacy of this intervention was evaluated using a pretest-posttest design to compare students' scores on the Brief Resilience Scale and Student Worry Questionnaire from pre- to post-intervention. There were significant improvements in students' overall worry and general worry from prior to after the intervention. These results suggest that a brief biofeedback intervention may positively impact nursing students' worry and resilience. Additional research using an experimental design and increased number of biofeedback sessions is encouraged.
