Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study was planned to evaluate the effect of Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) videos on sleep quality and stress levels of nursing students before clinical practice.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) is a physiological phenomenon that describes a tingling sensation caused by specific visual and auditory triggers, usually starting on the scalp and travelling down the body. These trigger stimuli are often socially intimate in nature and often involve repetition of movements and/or sounds.

According to studies conducted among university students, it is generally stated that university students have poor sleep quality and sleep inadequately. Negative impact on students' sleep quality is a factor that causes them to experience stress. Nursing students are faced with an important source of stress due to the various situations they encounter in the education and practice processes. Although clinical education offers rich opportunities to gain hands-on experience, it is reported that the clinical component of nursing education provides the highest source of stress for nursing students.

This study was planned to evaluate the effect of Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) videos on sleep quality and stress levels of nursing students before clinical practice.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

intervention

For 7 days, they were asked to watch ASMR videos for 20-30 minutes every evening at 22:00 before going to bed. The videos were downloaded to the student's computer or phone in advance, the student was asked to switch his/her phone to airplane mode to block the stimuli during the viewing, to watch these videos with headphones, to reduce the sounds in the room as much as possible, to lie on his/her bed and to wear comfortable clothes.

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

ASMR

Intervention Type OTHER

We used 7 ASMR videos published on the most watched ASMR channel on the YouTube platform, in which applications such as hair combing, brushing, massaging the head are applied sequentially and repeatedly, and there is no speech.
