Amongst the general working population,
female nurses were observed to have higher levels of
anxiety and performed poorly under the influence of
anxiety. It is still a dispute as to how it affects
perceptual motor performance. Thus, this study
evaluated correlation between Eye Hand Coordination
and Anxiety in 67 female nursing professionals using
Jenga game and Hamilton Anxiety Rating scale (HAMA). A negative correlation was perceived. This study
concluded that anxiety affected motor performance.
Future scope of this study would involve working on
methods to cope with anxiety and improve Eye hand
Coordination skills which would help nurses work
efficiently.
