Practicing mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) can reduce academic test anxiety and improve self-confidence among undergraduates. The study assessed test anxiety and self-confidence before and after an MBSR intervention in an experimental group compared to a control group. High test anxiety is associated with exhaustion and confusion, while low self-esteem relates to anxiety and depression. The intervention aimed to relieve test anxiety and boost self-confidence and self-esteem.
