The Effect of Art-Based Mandala on Mental Health in Bone Marrow Transplant Patients

"Patients who are routinely scheduled for bone marrow transplantation are admitted to the unit one week before the transplant and treatment is started and transplantation is performed a week later. All patients in the intervention and control group will be filled out forms upon hospitalization after receiving their informed consent at the beginning of the study. Subsequently, patients in the intervention group will be given art-based mandala painting, which is sampled below, for 30 minutes for a week, accompanied by instrumental music featuring natural sounds in a room with light-heat control. Mandala painting templates and crayons will be provided by the researcher. The researcher will not intervene in any way other than time management during the preparation and painting of the environment. The researcher participated in training on art-based mandala and made preliminary preparations.~No intervention will be made to the control group except for routine clinical applications."
