Subclaims¶

q3 i? 44 of 48 reviewed studies focused on stress while 12 focused on attention, showing stress dominates educational HRV research. → Hyun Jin Kim 2024 q3 i? The largest group of studies used undergraduates (n = 33, 68.8%), and healthcare-field participants accounted for 54.2% of study populations. → Hyun Jin Kim 2024 (2)

Participant analysis across the 48 studies: undergraduates were the largest group (n = 33, 68.8%), half of them health-sciences students; the discussion adds that healthcare-field participants accounted for 54.2% of study populations.

"By school level, the largest group of studies used HRV with undergraduate students (n = 33, 68.8%), half of whom were health sciences students"
