Conditions

Stress; Physiological Stress

Keywords

Heart rate; Skin conductance; Music

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (3)

• Change in Heart Rate

  Heart rate will be measured using the Polar Verity Sense Optical Heart Rate Sensor in beats per minute (bpm)

  baseline, up to 12 minutes

• Change in Skin Conductance

  Skin conductance will be measured using the NeuLog Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) in micro Siemens (µS).

  baseline, up to 12 minutes

• Change in Anxiety Level

  The Six Item State-Trait Anxiety Inventory includes six statements that are rated on a 4-point Likert scale (1=Not at all, 2=Somewhat, 3=Moderately so, 4=Very much). The scale will measure current feelings of anxiety.

  baseline, up to 12 minutes

Secondary Outcomes (3)

• The Degree of Stress Experienced by A Nursing Student measured by the Perceived Stress Scale for Nursing Students (PSS) Likert Scale

  up to 5 minutes

• Liking Song Scale (4-point Likert Scale)

  up to 5 minutes

• Familiarity Song Scale (Rating scale)

  up to 5 minutes
