Trial outcomes

Change from test anxiety values at two hours
The items of the scale was created by including 50 anxiety statements developed by Baltaş (1999) with permission. The reliability analysis of the scale was conducted with the participation of 206 undergraduate students studying in Nursing, Physical Education Teaching, and Science Education departments. Data obtained from the application were subjected to factor analysis. As a result of the analysis, 12 items were removed from the scale due to factor load values being below 0.40, and 4 items were excluded for being non-discriminative (overlapping). The remaining 34 items were distributed across five sub-dimensions, with factor loadings ranging from 0.41 to 0.74. The scale is in a 5-point Likert format, and the internal reliability coefficient of the scale was calculated as Cronbach's Alpha (α) = 0.87.
