The experimental group underwent Mindfulness-based stress reduction program intervention for 8 sessions. The control group did not receive any intervention. TAI test anxiety (Abolghasemi et al., 2006) and psychosomatic complaints (Takata and Sakata, 2004) questionnaires were used to collect data. The collected data were analyzed using statistical methods of Analysis of Covariance. Participants were allowed to leave the study whenever they wished. The informed consent form was completed by the individuals before the study began.
