The effect of nursing students' health beliefs on their willingness to seek treatment for test anxiety.
Test anxiety is common among students and reaches its peak in higher education. It can not only hinder test performance and affect an entire program of studies but also restrict personal development. Many forms of therapy are available, and most are highly successful, but participation rates are low. This study identifies the two factors responsible for nonadherence, practical obstacles and perceived ineffectiveness of treatment, and shows how they can be targeted to increase therapy enrollment rates.
