Background: Although simulation-based education plays a vital role in nursing education, it consistently induces high levels of anxiety among nursing students. This study aimed to implement a mindfulness intervention to alleviate anxiety in nursing students during simulation sessions.

Method: This randomized controlled trial study included 54 nursing students. Both survey and emotion track system data were collected and analyzed using multivariate analysis of covariance.

Results: The intervention effectively reduced anxiety among students in the experimental group compared with students in the control group during simulation sessions. The frequency (F[1, 53] = 6.145, = .016), intensity (F[1, 51] = 3.771, = .050), and duration of anxiety felt by students (F[1, 50] = 4.223, = .017) decreased after the intervention. However, no long-term effects of the intervention were identified.

Conclusion: The implementation of a mindfulness intervention successfully alleviated anxiety among nursing students during simulation. .
