Key Points

  • Students using damask rose essential oil performed better in their OSCE stations than those using a placebo, with results showing P < 0.001.
  • Multi-center randomized controlled trial conducted with 52 first-year OR students during a structured examination.
  • The findings suggest aromatherapy could be an effective, low-cost intervention to manage exam anxiety and improve skills.
