Effects of Nidra Yoga Intervention on Psychological Stress, Sleep Quality, and Academic Resilience Among Nursing Students During Clinical Practicum

The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of Yoga Nidra on stress, anxiety, sleep quality, and academic resilience among nursing students during clinical practicum. Data will be collected using a structured questionnaire consisting of two parts: (1) demographic information and (2) validated instruments, including the Nursing Students' Clinical Practicum Stress Scale, the Generalized Anxiety Disorder-7 (GAD-7), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), and the Academic Resilience Scale. Data analysis will be conducted using descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, independent-samples t-tests, paired-samples t-tests, and generalized estimating equations (GEE). The objectives of this study are as follows: To examine the effects of Yoga Nidra on nursing students' practicum-related stress. To examine the effects of Yoga Nidra on nursing students' anxiety. To examine the effects of Yoga Nidra on nursing students' sleep quality. To examine the effects of Yoga Nidra on nursing students' academic resilience. Based on the findings of this study, the researcher hopes to provide evidence-based references for nursing educators, educational administrators, and future researchers regarding the application of Yoga Nidra in nursing education and student well-being.
