简要总结
This study was conducted to determine the Effect of Mandala Coloring on Anxiety and Depression Before Open Heart Surgery. This was a randomized, controlled experimental study. The sample comprised 69 patients who underwent open heart surgery (control: 35; experimental: 34).
Eight pre-selected mandala drawings will be printed on separate A4 (21.0 cm × 29.7 cm) papers. After the patients are admitted to the hospital for the surgery process, the patients in the experimental group will be provided with at least 2 hours of mandala coloring per day until the day of their surgery. No intervention will be applied to the control group patients.
详细描述
Cardiovascular diseases are among the leading causes of death both globally and in our country. Despite advances in prevention, diagnosis, medical interventions, and surgical methods for heart diseases, "open heart surgery" remains one of the most effective methods in the treatment of cardiovascular disorders. For patients who do not respond to medical treatment, open heart surgery is often considered as a treatment option. Heart surgery is a surgical procedure that includes interventions on heart valves, repair of congenital defects, and coronary artery grafting. The surgical process is one of the most critical experiences in a patient's life, affecting them physically, psychologically, socially, and economically. Patients awaiting heart surgery experience high levels of anxiety and depression due to significant psychological stress, fear, worry, and uncertainties related to the surgery. For most patients, heart surgery is perceived as a crisis or a life-threatening event. When an individual faces a threatening event, it is cognitively assessed, and if deemed threatening, it triggers anxiety. Additionally, factors such as facing physically painful procedures, being away from family, losing a job, being in an unfamiliar environment, or encountering unknown devices can also contribute to anxiety during hospitalization.
Mandala is an art therapy technique that can provide psychological support and healing. This circular art has traditionally been used for meditation in various Asian cultures and symbolizes psychological wholeness. Mandala is a Sanskrit word meaning "circle, roundness, wholeness, and completion"; it provides mental calmness and relaxation. Mandala is used as a tool to enhance awareness, express oneself, solve negative problems, and promote healing. Mandala coloring is a safe and accessible activity that can be used as a complementary strategy to support mental health, requiring no special skills.
Through practices like mandala coloring, individuals project what they do not know onto the outside world and make it visible through this act of creation. The recovery process begins with this step. The artistic perspective of nursing involves understanding individuals' needs, identifying sources of anxiety and stress, and then developing practices that enhance people's abilities and competence, thus boosting their self-confidence and resilience. This study will be conducted to examine the effects of mandala coloring on anxiety and psychological well-being in patients undergoing open heart surgery.

结局指标
主要结局
Surgical Anxiety Scale
时间窗: On the day of surgery
The scale has three subdimensions: Health-Related Anxiety (items 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, and 13), Recovery-Related Anxiety (items 2, 14, 16, and 17), and Procedure-Related Anxiety (items 1, 3, 4, and 5). The total score of the Surgical Anxiety Scale (SAS) is obtained by summing the scores of the subdimension items and the three items not included in any subdimension. The lowest possible score on the scale is 0, and the highest score is 68. As the score increases, the level of surgical anxiety is considered higher.
Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale
时间窗: On the day of surgery
The scale consists of 14 items, and it has two subdimensions: anxiety and depression. Seven items (odd numbers) measure anxiety, and seven items (even numbers) measure depression. The scale uses a 4-point Likert format, with scores ranging from 0 to 3. Each item on the scale has a different scoring method. Items 1, 3, 5, 6, 8, 10, 11, and 13 are reverse-scored, while items 2, 4, 7, 9, 12, and 14 are scored normally. For the anxiety subdimension, the items 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13 are used; for the depression subdimension, the items 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 are used. Patients can score between 0 and 21 on each subdimension. The cutoff point for anxiety is 10, and the cutoff point for depression is 7. Patients who score above these cutoff points are considered at risk.
Surgical Anxiety Scale
时间窗: 7 day before surgery
The scale has three subdimensions: Health-Related Anxiety (items 7, 8, 9, 10, 12, and 13), Recovery-Related Anxiety (items 2, 14, 16, and 17), and Procedure-Related Anxiety (items 1, 3, 4, and 5). The total score of the Surgical Anxiety Scale (SAS) is obtained by summing the scores of the subdimension items and the three items not included in any subdimension. The lowest possible score on the scale is 0, and the highest score is 68. As the score increases, the level of surgical anxiety is considered higher.
