Brief Summary

This research was conducted to examine the effect of sandplay activity on anxiety and well-being levels in patients in psychiatric clinics. The research was carried out in Isparta Süleyman Demirel University Psychiatric Clinic as a single-blind randomized controlled experimental study in the pre-test, final-test order between 2020-2021. Ethical permission was obtained from the Clinical Research Ethics Committee and application permission from the institution for pre-research. 63 patients (intervention-32 and control-31) selected by block randomization method formed the universe of the study. No intervention was applied to the control group. A preliminary test and a final test were performed two days apart, one hour apart on the first and fourth days. Two sessions of sandplay activity were applied to the intervention group with a decongest of two days, and each session was pre-tested. The data was collected using "The Personal Information Form", "The Spielberger Status Anxiety" inventory, and "Well-Being Star Scale" and also data showed normal distribution. In statistical analysis, T-Test, Chi-Square Test, pearson correlation test was used dependent and independent groups. For the purpose of the research, the hypotheses of the research are as follows::

1. 1.Hypothesis (H1): after intervention, anxiety levels of patients who underwent sandplay activity (in a psychiatric clinic) are lower than in the control grouproup
2. 2.Hypothesis (H1): after intervention the level of well-being of patients undergoing sand play activity (in a psychiatric clinic) is higher than that of the control group.
3. 3.Hypothesis (H1): there is a negative correlation between the level of anxiety and the level of well-being in psychiatric clinics who sandplay activity is practiced and not practiced.
