Summary

Nursing education is an education in which theory and practice are intertwined and requires the development of both cognitive and motor skills of students. The laboratory environment is a bridge between classroom learning and clinical practice. In order for students to transform the target behavior into a skill, it takes place in the laboratory on inanimate models under the supervision of the instructor. It has been assumed that there is a strong relationship between learning and anxiety; while a moderate level of anxiety is necessary for learning, a high level of anxiety causes a decrease in learning.

Many studies have reported that students experience anxiety before their first clinical/practice experience. During skills training, it is observed that students are stressed, their hands are shaking, and they do not feel comfortable, especially before practices involving invasive interventions. This is a factor that makes learning skills training difficult. Therefore, it is important for the student to be comfortable, self-confident, and mentally open to learning during skill training. New applications and different techniques for skill training are important in this sense. It is reported that aromatherapy application has positive effects on reducing anxiety and increasing concentration.
