The research design carried out is a survey study and a quasi-experimental study. his study uses the Depression Anxiety Stress Scale (DASS) questionnaire to measure negative emotional states and emwave biofeedback to measure changes in heart rate variability. A total of 150 students were involved in the survey study and 30 students in the quasi-experimental study involving three faculties, Faculty of Islamic Studies, the Faculty of Management and Informatics, the Faculty of Language and Foundation Studies.
