Brief summary
This study aims to evaluate the effect of mandala coloring on nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and psychological well-being in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. The intervention involves guided mandala coloring sessions applied during chemotherapy cycles. The outcomes will be assessed using standardized scales measuring symptom severity and psychological well-being before and after the intervention.
Detailed description
This study is a clinical trial designed to investigate the effects of mandala coloring on nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and psychological well-being in cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is commonly associated with both physical and psychological side effects that negatively impact patients' quality of life. The intervention consists of structured mandala coloring sessions conducted during chemotherapy cycles. Participants will perform the coloring activity in a calm and appropriate clinical environment. No pharmacological or additional psychological interventions will be applied during the study period. Outcome measures include the severity of nausea, vomiting, and fatigue, as well as psychological well-being levels, assessed using validated scales at baseline and after the intervention. Differences in these outcomes will be analyzed to evaluate the effectiveness of the mandala coloring intervention. The study is expected to provide evidence regarding low-cost, non-pharmacological supportive care methods that may improve symptom management and psychological health in chemotherapy patients. 10000 chars

| The Effect of Mandala Coloring on Nausea, Vomiting, Fatigue, and Psychological Well-Being in Cancer Patients Receiving Chemotherapy | Within 24 hours after the intervention | Nausea and vomiting severity were assessed using the Rhodes Index of Nausea, Vomiting, and Retching (RINVR). Fatigue levels were measured using a standardized fatigue scale, and psychological well-being was assessed using a validated psychological well-being scale. Outcome measures were compared between the mandala painting group and the control group before and within 24 hours after the intervention. |
| The effects of mandala painting on nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and psychological well-being in cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy. | 24 hours after intervention | Fatigue Severity Questionnaire: The fatigue severity scale is a unidimensional questionnaire with a total score of 16 on a seven-point Likert scale, and higher total scores indicate greater fatigue.
