Summary

The aim of this study is to investigate whether an Internet-based EMDR Flash intervention can help reduce exam anxiety among university students. Participants will utilize the online SKY-Flash program and report their levels of exam anxiety at pre-intervention, post-intervention, and follow-up assessments. In addition, the study will collect feedback regarding participants' overall experiences with the program. The primary objective is to determine whether SKY-Flash constitutes a practical and effective approach to reducing exam anxiety among students, while also exploring their perceptions of the intervention.

Interventions

BEHAVIORAL

Internet-Based EMDR-Flash Program

Self-guided, internet-based EMDR-Flash program (SKY-Flash) tailored to reduce test anxiety in university students. Delivered via a secure web platform with no live therapist involvement. The intervention comprises six \~40-minute modules completed independently during the study. Each module includes brief psychoeducation and step-by-step EMDR-Flash procedures (focus on a positive engaging image with brief "flash" cues), guided practice, and in-platform exercises. Gamification (progress tracking, badges) and automated prompts support adherence. Unlike CBT-based online programs or clinician-delivered EMDR, this is a fully automated, low-intensity Flash protocol adapted to exam-related distress. Safety messaging and referral resources are embedded; access is via individual login and usage is recorded for adherence.
