Title	Yoga for Stress Reduction in Nursing Students
Abstract	Undergraduate nursing students are under vast amounts of stress to adapt to the substantial workload while learning patient care. A lack of stress reduction tools in the nursing curriculum leaves these students at risk for stress related outcomes. In the past, research has addressed the effects of stress on health care providers, but little has been specific to nursing students. The rising popularity of yoga is an opportunity to offer such a tool to address stress in nursing students. Using YouTube as an avenue to provide yoga classes designed for stress reduction in nursing students is accessible for most of this population. This study was conducted to explore the hypothesis of using YouTube yoga videos to address stress reduction before and after participating over a two-week period. A review of related literature was examined and Tsai's theory was the theoretical framework applied to the stress nursing students experience as they take on the new role of caregiver. A descriptive design was used to compare data collected.
