Purpose: This study was conducted to find out the effects of colour by number mandala in decreasing the stress of hospitalized children with chronic disease.

Design: A randomized controlled study. Methods: This study was conducted with 120 children between the ages of 8 and 11. 60 children formed the experimental group, while 60 children formed the control group. Descriptive Information Form and Perceived Stress Scale were used in data collection.

Study Overview

• Status: Completed
• Conditions: Child, Only; Chronic Diseases in Children
• Intervention / Treatment: Other: This study aims to evaluate the effects of colour by number mandala in decreasing the stress of children hospitalized due to their chronic disease.

Detailed Description

Experimental group: The children, along with their parents, were interviewed by one of the researchers on their first day of hospitalisation. The parents were informed about the Descriptive Information Form and the Perceived Stress Scale for Children, which the researcher filled out in the presence of the children and their parents. The children were then given a colour-by-number mandala and colouring pencils. A different colour-by-number mandala was given to each participant every day; the mean length of hospital stay was 3 days.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure	Measure Description	Time Frame
this study was measured colour-by-number mandalas do reduce the perceived stress levels in children hospitalised due to a chronic disease.	A different colour-by-number mandala was given to each participant every day; the mean length of hospital stay was 3 days. At the end of the third day, the same researcher interviewed the children and filled out again the Perceived Stress Scale for Children. The Perceived Stress Scale for Children: A minimum of 0 and a maximum of 27 points are obtained from the scale. A high score from the scale indicates a high level of stress.	3 days
