Abstract

The objectives of this study were: (1) to study concepts and theories related to situational anxiety, (2) to analyze effective strategies for managing situational anxiety, and (3) to synthesize new knowledge regarding the transition process from fear to understanding in anxiety management. The research employed a qualitative documentary study design, using holistic theoretical perspectives on anxiety and emotion regulation as its framework. The data were obtained from 45 academic sources, including scholarly articles and related research published between 2015 and 2023. Three instruments were used: (1) a document quality assessment form, (2) a content analysis record, and (3) a data synthesis form. Data were analyzed through inductive content analysis and narrative synthesis.

The research results revealed the following. 1) Situational anxiety is an emotional reaction that arises when individuals face unexpected or challenging circumstances, consisting of physical, emotional, and cognitive components. 2) Effective management strategies include self-awareness, relaxation techniques, cognitive restructuring, and building social support systems. 3) The transitional process from fear to understanding occurs in four stages: awareness, acceptance, learning, and adaptation. The knowledge generated from this study can be applied to the development of anxiety management training programs, psychological counseling, and the promotion of mental health within communities
