Review

This study addresses a highly relevant and timely topic concerning the mental well-being of nursing students, specifically focusing on anxiety levels related to the final project at Yapenas 21 Maros. The authors clearly articulate the problem, emphasizing that the final project, while a graduation requirement, can lead to psychological distress and anxiety. The comprehensive definition of anxiety provided underscores the multifaceted nature of this emotional state, and the stated purpose to describe anxiety levels among final-year D-III Nursing students is straightforward and appropriate for an initial descriptive investigation. The choice of a Descriptive Quantitative method is suitable for establishing the prevalence and distribution of anxiety within the specified population, setting a foundational understanding for the institution. The findings presented are significant and provide valuable insights for the Yapenas 21 Maros Nursing Academy. The research reveals that a substantial majority of final-year students experience moderate anxiety (60%) concerning their final scientific writing task, with an additional 13.3% reporting severe anxiety. These figures highlight a considerable psychological burden among students nearing graduation. Such data is crucial for institutional awareness and can inform the development of targeted support systems, counseling services, or academic interventions to mitigate these anxiety levels. Recognizing that a significant portion of students are grappling with moderate to severe anxiety is a critical step towards fostering a more supportive and conducive learning environment. While providing a valuable descriptive overview, the abstract also points to areas where further detail and research would strengthen the contribution. For instance, the specific instrument used to measure anxiety is not mentioned, which is vital for evaluating the reliability and validity of the findings and for potential replication. Additionally, while the population is clearly defined, the exact sample size (N) is not explicitly stated, which would enhance the precision of the results. Future research could build upon this descriptive foundation by exploring the underlying factors contributing to these anxiety levels, examining the impact of anxiety on academic performance, or evaluating the effectiveness of interventions designed to reduce student anxiety. A more comprehensive understanding of these aspects would allow for the development of more tailored and effective support strategies for nursing students.
