Mindful Breathing Group

EXPERIMENTAL

45 first-year students, and 40 second year students were allocated to study group. These students received supervised practice of mindful breathing techniques for 15 days.Intervention sessions were held every day for 20 minutes over 15 consecutive days in morning for the first year B.Sc. Nursing students and afternoon for the second year students. Students were divided into small groups of 10-12 for close observation and asked to assemble in the classroom. The exercises practiced in each session followed a structured sequence which includes pursed-lip breathing for 5 minutes, followed by box breathing for 3-4 minutes and 4-7-8 breathing for 5 minutes, diaphragmatic breathing for 4 minutes, and alternate nostril breathing for about 5 minutes. Students maintained proper posture, eye closure, and breath awareness throughout, with short relaxation intervals between exercises, and concluded with relaxation by placing the palms over the eyes.
