The Effects of an Intermodal Art Therapy Program on Depression, Anxiety, Stress, and Emotion Regulation Skill Levels in Nursing Students: A Randomized Controlled Study

24 april 2026 uppdaterad av: Atlas University
Nursing students face stress during their education, especially when transitioning to clinical practice; poorly managed stress reduces academic achievement and increases levels of depression and anxiety. Therefore, developing students' emotional awareness and coping skills is important. Art therapy is an effective method that supports individuals in self-expression and the development of emotion regulation skills. Although the literature shows positive effects of art-based interventions on psychological well-being, there are limited randomized controlled studies that address depression, anxiety, stress, and emotion regulation skills together in nursing students. Accordingly, this study aims to determine the effect of an intermodal art therapy program on these variables in nursing students. The research was planned as a two-group, single-blind, observational, randomized controlled interventional study. The population of the study will consist of 1st and 2nd-year nursing students studying at Istanbul Atlas University, and 44 students meeting the inclusion-exclusion criteria will constitute the sample of the study. The intermodal art therapy program will be applied to the intervention group. Data; Data will be collected using an Individual Demographic Form, the Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale, and the Emotion Regulation Skills Scale. Interventions will be administered in approximately grouped sessions, once a week, for a total of 8 sessions, each lasting 90 minutes, in a structured format. Data analysis will be performed using the SPSS 23.0 software package. Descriptive statistics such as frequency distribution, mean, and standard deviation will be used to define the sample size; pairwise pairs or the Wilcoxon pairwise test will be used for intragroup comparisons according to parametric test assumptions; and the Chi-square test will be used for the analysis of categorical data. A 95% significance level will be used to determine differences in the analyses. This study aims to contribute to strengthening the psychosocial care of nursing students by providing evidence on the effectiveness of an intermodal art therapy program applied to nursing students.

Depression, Anxiety, Stress Scale (DASS-21) Lovibond and Lovibond (1995) created DASS-21 by shortening DASS-42. Sarıçam (2018) performed psychometric tests on the Turkish version of the "Depression Anxiety Stress-21 Scale (DASS-21)" in normal and clinical samples. In the normal sample, test-retest correlation coefficients were found to be r=0.68 for the depression subscale, r=0.66 for the anxiety subscale, and r=0.61 for the stress subscale. The scale, which is a four-point Likert type, consists of 7 questions each measuring the "depression, stress, and anxiety dimensions". In the depression subscale scores, 0-4 points indicate normal, 5-6 points mild, 7-10 points moderate, 11-13 points advanced, and 14 points and above indicate very advanced depression. In the anxiety subscale, scores between 0-3 indicate normal, 4-5 indicates mild, 6-7 indicates moderate, 8-9 indicates advanced, and 10 and above indicates very advanced anxiety levels. In the stress subscale, scores between 0-7 indic

Emotion Regulation Skills Scale (EDS) This is a scale developed by Berking and Znoj (2008) to determine individuals' emotion regulation skills. The adaptation of the scale into Turkish, and its validity and reliability study, were carried out by Vatan and Kâhya (2018). The scale is a self-report instrument consisting of 27 items with a five-point Likert scale (0=almost never, 4=almost always). The Emotional Behavior Test (EBT) encompasses nine sub-dimensions: awareness/attention (e.g., 'I paid attention to my feelings.'), bodily sensations (e.g., 'My physical sensations were a good indicator of how I felt.'), clarity (e.g., 'I was sure of which emotions I was experiencing.'), understanding (e.g., 'I was aware of why I felt that way.'), acceptance (e.g., 'I accepted my emotions.'), tolerance (e.g., 'I felt I could tolerate my negative emotions.'), preparedness for confrontation (e.g., 'Even though it made me feel uncomfortable or anxious, I did what I planned.'), self-support (e.g., 'I
