Nature-based mind-body intervention for test anxiety in adolescents: a feasibility study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Traditional interventions for test anxiety often fall short of addressing the specific needs of adolescents and educational institutions due to issues of stigmatization and professionalization.
