<![CDATA[This study aimed to examine the relationship between peer support involvement and anxiety levels among nursing students. A total of 121 students from the Faculty of Nursing, Class of 2023, participated in this study. Descriptive analysis showed that the majority of respondents were female, aged 21 years, with peer support mostly in the moderate category and anxiety levels predominantly normal. The relationship between peer support and anxiety was analyzed using Spearman Rank correlation, resulting in a significant, strong, and negative correlation (r = −0.744, p = 0.000). This indicates that higher involvement in peer support is associated with lower anxiety levels among students. The findings highlight the importance of peer support as a protective mechanism in maintaining students’ psychological well-being and coping with academic and social stressors. The study suggests that structured peer support programs, including peer mentoring and counseling, can be an effective strategy to enhance emotional regulation and reduce anxiety. Implementing such programs may contribute to a supportive academic environment and improved mental health outcomes for nursing students.]]>
