Detailed description
Objective: The aim of this project is to examine the effects of mandala coloring and music performance interventions on premenstrual syndrome symptoms and quality of life. The study aims to reach all students experiencing premenstrual syndrome symptoms without resorting to sample size calculations. Therefore, since a high effect size is expected in the study, Cohen's standard effect size of 0.25, which is between moderate and large, was accepted. Therefore (α = 0.05, effect size = 0.25, 1-β = 0.80), the minimum sample size was calculated as 108 participants (n = 36 for each group). The study includes a mandala coloring group, a music performance group, and a control group. The mandala coloring intervention will be applied twice a week for 8 weeks, and the music performance will be applied twice a day for 30 minutes for 8 weeks. Participants in the music performance group will listen to classical music. The control group will not receive any intervention. The Demographic Information Form, the Premenstrual Syndrome Scale (PMSS), and the WHOQOL-BREF-TR Quality of Life Scale will be used as data collection tools. The first measurement will be administered before the interventions. The second measurement will be collected in the fourth week after the intervention, and the third measurement in the eighth week. The data obtained in the study will be entered into a database using IBM SPSS 25.0 (Statistical Package for Social Sciences), and all necessary statistical analyses will be performed in the same program.

Masking description
To determine the groups for university students who meet the sampling criteria for the study's randomization, participants will be assigned to the experimental and control groups using the "Randomizer.org" program. Numbers 1 to 120 will be randomized into three groups using a computer-assisted randomization program (https://www.randomizer.org). Students in the experimental and control groups will be prevented from interacting with each other to avoid being affected by the interventions. Inclusion and exclusion criteria, as well as exclusion from the study during the study, are specified below.
Intervention model description
The study includes a mandala coloring group, a music group, and a control group. Participating students will be informed about the study and provided with an "Informed Consent Form" and a "Voluntary Consent Form." The mandala painting intervention will be administered twice a week for 8 weeks to the mandala painting group, and the music performance will be administered twice a week for 30 minutes, twice a day, for 8 weeks. Participants in the music performance group will listen to classical music. The control group will not receive any intervention. Data will be collected using a "The Demographic Information Form," the "Premenstrual Syndrome Scale (PMSS)," and the "WHOQOL-BREF-TR Quality of Life Scale."

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The Effect of Mandala Coloring on Premenstrual Syndrome Symptoms | eight weeks | Premenstrual Syndrome Scale (PMSS): Developed by Gençdoğan in 2006, this five-point Likert-type scale measures the severity of premenstrual problems, consisting of 44 items and nine subscales. The lowest possible score is 44, and the highest is 220. A higher score indicates a greater severity of PMS problems. |
| The Effect of MMusic Listening on Premenstrual Syndrome Symptoms | eight weeks | Premenstrual Syndrome Scale (PMSS): Developed by Gençdoğan in 2006, this five-point Likert-type scale measures the severity of premenstrual problems, consisting of 44 items and nine subscales. The lowest possible score is 44, and the highest is 220. A higher score indicates a greater severity of PMS problems. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| The Effect of Mandala Coloring Quality of Life | eight weeks | WHOQOL-BREF-TR Quality of Life Scale: The Turkish version of the scale has been shown to be valid and reliable. The scale includes subdomains of physical health, psychological health, social relationships, and environment and culture-standardized environmental assessment. Each domain is scored between 4 and 20, with higher scores indicating higher quality of life in that area. |
