Thirty-four samples were recruited by using total sampling and divided into two intervention and control groups. Data analysis was performed and presented in descriptive statistics, and significant findings were computed using the paired t-test. Results: The results showed that the mean anxious level intervention group downhill from 28,76+4,603 to 16,61+2,487 after the intervention. Meanwhile, in the control group, the mean anxious level slightly downhill from 28,18+4,066 to 23,82+4,362. The paired t-test obtained a p-value of 0.000, indicating that there were significant differences in the decrease in anxiety level between the intervention and the control group.
