简要总结
The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of mandala painting activity on stress and anxiety levels in mothers whose babies were hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU).
详细描述
The health status of the baby and the duration of stay in the intensive care unit cause the mother to experience varying levels of stress and anxiety. It is very important to determine the levels of stress and anxiety in mothers of newborns hospitalized in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit and to take interventions to reduce it. This study will be conducted to evaluate the effect of mandala coloring activity on stress and anxiety levels in mothers whose babies are hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit. It is thought to make an important contribution to the field because it will be a randomized controlled study on the effect of mandala painting activity on stress and anxiety in mothers whose babies are hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit.
Type of study: The study was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study.
In the G*Power program, it was determined that it would be sufficient to include 30 participants in the study groups with a 5% alpha margin of error, 0.95 confidence interval, 0.95 effect size and 0.95 power. Considering the randomization list and possible losses, the sample size was increased by 20% and it was decided to include 72 mothers in the study, each group consisting of 36 participants.
Data Collection: Before starting the study, the purpose of the study will be explained to the participant by the researcher and informed consent will be obtained. Data collection tools will be applied to the mothers in the experimental group and the mandala painting activity will begin. The mandala painting program will consist of a total of 7 mandala painting sessions with 40-minute sessions every day for 7 days. The researcher will accompany the first mandala painting activity. She will answer the participant's questions. The mother will do the remaining 6 mandala coloring sessions alone every day; at the end of the 6 days, the researcher will reapply the data collection tools. The mothers in the control group will not receive any treatment within the scope of the study. When they are included in the study, data collection forms will be applied as the first measurement; at the end of 7 days, the same mothers will fill out the data collection forms again as the last measurement. After the completion of the data collection forms, the mothers in the control group will be given a mandala package consisting of 7 applications.
H0: Mandala coloring activity has no effect on stress and anxiety in mothers whose infants are hospitalized in the neonatal intensive care unit.

结局指标
主要结局
Visual Analog Scale (VAS)
时间窗: After the 7th mandala painting session (7 days after the first session) (post-test)
Visual Analog Scale in the assessment of perceived stress. The use of VAS to assess stress is as discriminative as questionnaires and has construct validity. The VAS used consists of a small dotted ruler with endpoints labeled "no stress" and "maximum stress". Between these two extremes, how much stress is experienced is determined by the VAS. This scale gives a single subjective stress score between 0 and 10.
次要结局
- State Trait Anxiety Inventory (STAI)(After the 7th mandala painting session (7 days after the first session) (post-test))
