Arm && Interventions

Group	Intervention	Description
mandala	mandala	As in the case of previous studies, to prevent confusion and make the mandala drawing process easier, a few videos describing what a mandala is were shown to the patients, and information was provided. Next, each patient was given a set of felt-tip pens (in 24 different colors) and ready-to-use mandala papers, and they were asked to complete the mandala activity. The patients were given empty mandala books with enough pages for them to draw mandalas every day, they were asked to perform the mandala activity regularly in a time interval of their own choice every day, and whether they performed the activity was checked daily without them noticing (so that they would not have the feeling of being checked on or inspected).
