Description
Ong and colleagues tested in 2026 whether swinging reduces academic stress in nursing students. Swinging stimulates the vestibular system, the inner-ear balance sense, and is linked to relaxation. The quasi-experimental study enrolled seventy-eight student nurses in Baguio City, split into swinging and control groups. Stress was measured with a standard academic stress scale, and the team varied swinging duration and body position.
The swinging group showed a significant drop in academic stress compared with controls. How long students swung, and in what position, changed how much stress fell. They recommend building vestibular stimulation into nursing education. That includes campus spaces designed for swinging breaks. The study adds a low-cost, non-drug option to the student stress toolkit, tested across year levels of the nursing programme.
