Yoga Nidra for Stress, Sleep Quality, and Academic Resilience in Nursing Students
Taiwan110 participantsStarted 2026-04-10
Plain-language summary
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.

Questions worth asking your doctor
Bring these to your next appointment. They're a starting point for a shared conversation — not a sign you qualify or a recommendation to enrol.
1This trial is specifically for nursing students enrolling by invitation — is there any way to find out if I or someone I know in a nursing program might be eligible to be invited to participate?
2Since this study is measuring 'clinical practicum stress' as its main outcome, how reliable is Yoga Nidra as a stress-reduction tool compared to other evidence-based approaches that already exist for healthcare students?
3This trial doesn't seem to have a traditional medical phase, which suggests it's more of a behavioral or wellness study — does that mean the risks are lower than a drug trial, and are there any downsides worth knowing about before considering participation?
4Given that the study focuses on health inequalities, could the findings from this kind of research eventually influence how stress support is offered to nursing students from underrepresented backgrounds, and is that something worth advocating for in our healthcare system?
5Are there already established programs or resources for stress and sleep quality that a nursing student could access right now, rather than waiting to see results from a study like this?

Questions for the trial coordinator
The trial coordinator is the person who runs the study day to day. These cover the practical side — logistics, costs, and what taking part would actually mean for your life. The study team confirms whether you meet the criteria; these are questions to ask, not a sign you qualify.
1What does taking part actually involve week to week — how many visits, where, and how long does each one take?
2What costs are covered by the study, and what might I have to pay for myself, including travel, parking, or time off work?
3What happens during screening, and what happens if the study team confirms I don't meet the criteria after those tests?
4Who pays for the scans, blood work, and other tests the trial requires — the study, my insurance, or me?
5How will being in the trial affect my regular care, and will my own doctor stay informed and involved?
6Can I leave the trial at any point if I change my mind, and what would happen to my care if I do?
A starting point for the conversation — always confirm anything about your own eligibility, costs, and care with the study team and your doctor.
