About this trial
This study was conducted to determine the Effect of Mandala Coloring on Anxiety and Depression Before Open Heart Surgery. This was a randomized, controlled experimental study. The sample comprised 84 patients who underwent open heart surgery (control: 41; experimental: 43).
Eight pre-selected mandala drawings will be printed on separate A4 (21.0 cm × 29.7 cm) papers. After the patients are admitted to the hospital for the surgery process, the patients in the experimental group will be provided with at least 2 hours of mandala coloring per day until the day of their surgery. No intervention will be applied to the control group patients.
