No intervention was applied to the control group. A preliminary test and a final test were performed two days apart, one hour apart on the first and fourth days. Two sessions of sandplay activity were applied to the intervention group with a decongest of two days, and each session was pre-tested. The data was collected using "The Personal Information Form", "The Spielberger Status Anxiety" inventory, and "Well-Being Star Scale" and also data showed normal distribution.
