Detailed Description
This study will be conducted with adolescents between the ages of 9-18 who are diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes. The study includes a 6-week program. Art activities that can affect well-being, such as drawing a picture called a mandala, will be used in the program. Mandala drawing and painting will be done with the adolescents in the second and fourth weeks of the study. The drawings will be discussed in the third and fifth weeks. A common storytelling technique will be used according to the adolescents; feelings about drawing and painting. In the study, the State Anxiety Inventory will be used to measure the anxiety levels of the adolescents, the Psychological Well-being Scale to evaluate their well-being, and the process evaluation form where they evaluate the program (such as satisfaction). In addition, the Descriptive Characteristics Form, which consists of questions such as age and grade, will be applied in the first week of the study.

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
Spielberger State Anxiety Inventory
Time Frame: Change from Baseline level of Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety to 5 weeks (change is being assessed)
The scale is a 20-item self-report measure of anxiety using a 4-point Likert-type scale (from 0 to 3 points) for each item. The total score obtained from the scale varies between 20 and 60. A large score indicates a high level of anxiety, and a small score indicates a low level of anxiety.
Psychological Well-Being Scale
Time Frame: Change from Baseline level of Adolescent Spiritual Well-Being Scale to 5 weeks (change is being assessed)
The well-being scale developed by Diener and his colleagues was translated into Turkish by Telef (2013). The Psychological Well-being Scale consists of 8 items. The items of the scale are scored from strongly disagree (1) to strongly agree (7). The scores to be obtained from the scale vary between 8 and 56. The Cronbach alpha coefficient of the scale was calculated as 80.
