This study examines the effectiveness of lemon essential oil in reducing test anxiety in first-year nursing students.
While studies on the role of aromatherapy in reducing test anxiety exist, those evaluating the effects of lemon essential oil on test anxiety are extremely limited. In this study, the effect of a different aromatherapy application on reducing test anxiety was tried to be determined by using lemon essential oil. It is envisaged to provide an alternative aromatherapy application to students and educators to reduce test anxiety through the results obtained in the study.
