简要总结
This research was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study in order to reduce the anxiety felt and improve the quality of life by women in the climacteric period.
详细描述
Climacteric period; It is a life process in which the ovarian hormone and activity ends with a decrease, and the transition from the reproductive period to the non-reproductive period takes place, and includes perimenopause, menopause and postmenopausal stages. During the menopausal transition period, women experience many physical and psychological symptoms such as vasomotor symptoms, sleep disorders, depressed mood, and stress that negatively affect their quality of life. When the literature is examined, it can be seen that these menopausal symptoms experienced by women affect and trigger anxiety. Effective management of anxiety, which can negatively affect psychosocial well-being, social relations and mood, trigger or exacerbate menopausal symptoms, can improve the quality of life of women in the climacteric period. Therefore, anxiety management can be effective for women to cope with menopausal symptoms.
Carl Gustav Jung, a Swiss psychiatrist, discovered the therapeutic effect of coloring mandala, which is one of the art therapy methods in reducing anxiety. When the studies are examined, there have been many studies investigating the effect of Mandala coloring on reducing anxiety. Curry and Kasser (2005), Van der Vennet and Serice (2012), Flet et al (2017) stated that coloring mandala reduces anxiety on students; Gürcan and Atay Turhan (2021) and Yakar et al (2021) found that it reduces anxiety and depression in cancer patients; Khademi et al (2021) reported that it reduced anxiety in hospitalized covid-19 patients; Amelia et al (2020) found that it reduced anxiety in pregnant women.
When the studies are examined, there are studies showing that coloring mandala reduces anxiety in cancer patients, children, and pregnant women, but no study has been found on the effect of reducing anxiety related to menopausal symptoms and improving the quality of life of women in the climacteric period. This research was planned as a randomized controlled experimental study in order to reduce the anxiety felt and improve the quality of life by women in the climacteric period.
