Exploring anxiety awareness during academic science examinations.

ABSTRACT: There is a developing interdisciplinary research field which has been trying to integrate results and expertise from various scientific areas, such as affective computing, pedagogical methodology and psychological appraisal theories, into learning environments. Moreover, anxiety recognition and regulation has attracted the interest of researchers as an important factor in the implementation of advanced learning environments. The present article explores the test anxiety and stress awareness of university students who are attending a science course during examinations. Real-time anxiety awareness as provided by biofeedback during science exams in an academic environment is shown to have a positive effect on the anxiety students experience and on their self-efficacy regarding examinations. Furthermore, the relevant research identifies a significant relationship between the students' anxiety level and their performance. Finally, the current study indicates that the students' anxiety awareness as provided by biofeedback is related to their performance, a relationship that is mediated and explained by the students' anxiety.

Project description:BackgroundNurses frequently encounter death due to their professional roles, impacting their perceptions of mortality. Previous research has largely focused on the negative aspect of death awareness, known as death anxiety, while the other aspect, death reflection, has been less explored. This study aims to investigate the profiles of death awareness among Chinese nurses and identify factors influencing these profiles, such as socio-demographic characteristics, work-related characteristics, death education, and resilience.MethodA cross-sectional study was conducted using a convenience sample of 2882 nurses across China. Data were collected through an online survey from September to November 2023. Latent Profile Analysis was utilized to identify distinct profiles of death anxiety and death reflection among nurses. Multinomial logistic regression was used to analyze the predictive factors for different death awareness profiles.ResultsThree distinct profiles were identified: Calm Reflectors (low death anxiety, high death reflection), The Anxious (high death anxiety, low death reflection), and Anxious Reflectors (high levels of both death anxiety and death reflection). Factors such as resilience, years of service, parental status, education level, and read death education-related information significantly predicted the classification into these profiles. Specifically, higher resilience and engagement in death education were associated with the Calm Reflectors profile.ConclusionsOur study suggests that nurses' death awareness can be categorized into three distinct profiles: Calm Reflectors, The Anxious, and Anxious Reflectors. Key predictors of these profiles include resilience, educational level, years of service, parental status, and read death education-related information. The findings suggest that enhancing resilience and targeted educational interventions are crucial for supporting nurses in managing death-related emotional and cognitive responses effectively.
