69 / 5.000 THE EFFECT OF MANDALA PAINTING ON PAIN, STRESS, AND SLEEP QUALITY IN CHILDREN HOSPITALIZED IN THE BURN UNIT: A RANDOMIZED CONTROLLED STUDY

Children hospitalized in the burn unit will participate in structured mandala coloring sessions. Each session will last approximately 30 minutes and will be conducted once daily for 7 consecutive days. Children will be provided with printed mandala patterns and coloring materials, and the sessions will be supervised by the research team. The purpose of the intervention is to reduce pain and stress levels and improve sleep quality in burn patients.

Children in the control group will receive routine burn unit care without any additional interventions. No mandala coloring sessions will be provided.
