Anxiety and difficulty concentrating are often experienced by first-year college students, especially those with introverted personalities, poor coping mechanisms, low adaptability, and an inability to manage stress. These conditions can impact their academic performance. This is a quantitative study with a pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest-posttest design. A sample of 57 students in the Applied Undergraduate Study Program, Department of Nursing, Poltekkes Jakarta III, was selected through purposive sampling. Data were analysed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test. The results showed that the average academic anxiety score before the intervention was 55.95, while after the intervention it decreased to 41.00, with a p-value of 0.001. These findings indicate that binaural beats are effective in reducing academic anxiety levels in nursing students at Poltekkes Kemenkes Jakarta III, thus offering an alternative approach to addressing students academic anxiety.

The study concludes that binaural beats are effective in reducing anxiety in first-semester students through mechanisms such as brainwave synchronization, increased relaxation, and decreased stress-related physiological activity.This intervention is simple, non-invasive, and has the potential for implementation in higher education settings.It is hoped that these results will provide benefits in improving the mental well-being of new students and serve as a reference for further development to support psychological well-being in the academic environment.

Penelitian lebih lanjut perlu dilakukan untuk mengeksplorasi efektivitas binaural beats pada berbagai karakteristik mahasiswa, seperti perbedaan jenis kelamin, kepribadian, dan tingkat kecemasan awal. Studi komparatif yang melibatkan kelompok kontrol dan intervensi dengan durasi yang berbeda dapat memberikan pemahaman yang lebih mendalam tentang dosis optimal dan efek jangka panjang dari terapi ini. Selain itu, penelitian kualitatif dapat dilakukan untuk menggali pengalaman subjektif mahasiswa dalam menggunakan binaural beats, termasuk persepsi mereka tentang manfaat dan tantangan yang dihadapi, sehingga dapat meningkatkan implementasi intervensi ini di lingkungan pendidikan tinggi. Penelitian di masa depan juga dapat menyelidiki kombinasi binaural beats dengan teknik relaksasi lainnya, seperti mindfulness atau terapi kognitif perilaku, untuk melihat apakah pendekatan multimodal dapat menghasilkan efek yang lebih signifikan dalam mengurangi kecemasan akademik dan meningkatkan kesejahteraan psikologis mahasiswa.
