Objective To study the effectiveness of aromatic inhalation and pranayama on test anxiety in nursing students. Methods Sixty nursing students whose Test Anxiety Inventory scores were greater than two standard deviations were randomized into an observation group and a control group, with 30 students in each group. We did not intervene for the control group students＇ text anxiety, while for the observation group, we asked students to employ aromatic inhalation and pranayama before sleep, twice a day, and 15 min each time. Results After the intervention, the total TAI score and subscale score of emotionality in the observation group were significantly lower than those in the control group （P〈0.01 for both）. Conclusion Aromatic inhalation and pranayama can effectively relieve test anxiety of nursing students, and the effect is mainly achieved by improving the emotional factor.
