Brief Summary

Anxiety is a mood that focuses on the future, related to being prepared for possible upcoming negative events (fear, pain or danger), and unlike fear, its object is not determined or recognized, and it is exposed to uncertainty. Art therapy is used in the clinical and rehabilitation field as a useful tool for self-expression, healing and well-being. The close relationship between art, healing and well-being, and the therapeutic power of art has long been accepted all over the world.Many studies have been conducted in the literature examining the effect of mandala painting on reducing anxiety.This proposed project was planned to be carried out as a quasi-experimental study, based on the idea that mandala painting can reduce the level of anxiety in students and have a positive effect on the quality of life.
