Brief summary: This study was planned to evaluate the effect of Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) videos on sleep quality and stress levels of nursing students before clinical practice.

Detailed description: Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) is a physiological phenomenon that describes a tingling sensation caused by specific visual and auditory triggers, usually starting on the scalp and travelling down the body. These trigger stimuli are often socially intimate in nature and often involve repetition of movements and/or sounds.

According to studies conducted among university students, it is generally stated that university students have poor sleep quality and sleep inadequately. Negative impact on students' sleep quality is a factor that causes them to experience stress. Nursing students are faced with an important source of stress due to the various situations they encounter in the education and practice processes. Although clinical education offers rich opportunities to gain hands-on experience, it is reported that the clinical component of nursing education provides the highest source of stress for nursing students.

This study was planned to evaluate the effect of Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response (ASMR) videos on sleep quality and stress levels of nursing students before clinical practice.
