Among nursing students at Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, higher mindfulness was linked to lower test anxiety and better academic performance. A cross-sectional survey of 151 students found a small but significant inverse correlation between mindfulness and test anxiety, a positive correlation between mindfulness and academic performance, and a negative correlation between academic performance and test anxiety. The findings suggest that mindfulness-based approaches may help reduce test anxiety and improve academic outcomes.
