- mandala
- description
- As in the case of previous studies, to prevent confusion and make the mandala drawing process easier, a few videos describing what a mandala is were shown to the patients, and information was provided. Next, each patient was given a set of felt-tip pens (in 24 different colors) and ready-to-use mandala papers, and they were asked to complete the mandala activity. The patients were given empty mandala books with enough pages for them to draw mandalas every day, they were asked to perform the mandala activity regularly in a time interval of their own choice every day, and whether they performed the activity was checked daily without them noticing (so that they would not have the feeling of being checked on or inspected).

- control group
- description
- The Life Satisfaction Scale was administered to patients in the control group at the first encounter (pre-test) and three weeks after the first encounter (post-test). Although the pre- and post-test treatment protocols were the same for both intervention and control groups, the only difference between their treament was the mandala activity, which was not applied to those in the control group. Patients in the control group continued their routine lives at home for three weeks. After the application, the mandala activity was applied to all patients who wanted it.
