This study was planned to determine the effect of art-based mandala intervention on the distress and anxiety experienced by cancer patients.
This semi-experimental study with a single group pretest-posttest design was performed with 12 breast cancer survival patients. The data were collected through "Patient Diagnostic Form", "Distress Thermometer", "Trait Anxiety Inventory". Patients participated in the "Art-Based Mandala Interventıon" for eight weeks, one day a week, 2 h each. The distress and anxiety levels of the patients were measured before starting the program and at the end of the program.
Cancer patients experienced moderate level of anxiety (50.66 ± 6.91) and clinically significant distress (4.08 ± 2.74). Anxiety scores of cancer patients decreased significantly after the program compared to before the program (p < 0.05). The distress scores of cancer patients increased after the program compared to before the program (p > 0.05).
After the art-based mandala intervention program, anxiety scores of breast cancer survival patients decreased, and distress scores increased.
本研究旨在确定基于艺术的曼陀罗干预对癌症患者所经历的痛苦和焦虑的影响。
这是一项采用半实验设计的单组前后测实验,共纳入 12 名乳腺癌生存患者。通过“患者诊断表”、“痛苦温度计”、“特质焦虑量表”收集数据。患者每周参与一次“基于艺术的曼陀罗干预”,每次 2 小时,为期 8 周。在开始该项目之前和结束时测量患者的痛苦和焦虑水平。
癌症患者经历了中度焦虑(50.66±6.91)和临床显著的痛苦(4.08±2.74)。与项目开始前相比,项目结束后癌症患者的焦虑评分显著降低(p<0.05)。与项目开始前相比,癌症患者的痛苦评分在项目结束后增加(p>0.05)。
在基于艺术的曼陀罗干预项目后,乳腺癌生存患者的焦虑评分降低,而痛苦评分增加。
