The study was conducted in order to determine the effect of mandala therapy applied to mothers who have children with special needs on the mothers' comfort and resilience levels.
The study was conducted as a randomized controlled study at a special education school in Turkey. The study sample consisted of 51 mothers (24 mothers in the experimental group and 27 mothers in the control group) who had children with special needs. A 16-h mandala therapy was applied to the mothers in the experimental group. Identifying Information Form, General Comfort Questionnaire and Adult Resilience Scale were used as data collection tools.
According to the regression analysis performed in order to explain the difference between the first and third measurements of General Comfort Questionnaire, mandala art therapy was found to be effective, and the model established was determined to be statistically significant. It was also determined that the change that occurred between the third and first measurements performed in order to identify the change in the general comfort levels of the individuals was higher in the experimental group in comparison to the control group (P < 0.05). It was seen that the mothers' mean scores obtained from the Adult Resilience Scale total scale and its subscales significantly increased in the second and third measurements (P < 0.05) but that the increase in the mean scores of the control group was not significant (P > 0.05).
Mandala Art Therapy is a method that improves the comfort levels and resilience of mothers who have children with special needs. It might be beneficial for mothers to perform these applications at special education schools in collaboration with nurses.
开展本研究是为了确定对有特殊需求儿童的母亲进行曼陀罗疗法，对母亲的舒适度和复原力水平的影响。
本研究在土耳其一所特殊教育学校进行，为随机对照研究。研究样本包括51名有特殊需求儿童的母亲（实验组24名母亲，对照组27名母亲）。对实验组的母亲进行了16小时的曼陀罗疗法。使用身份信息表、一般舒适度问卷和成人复原力量表作为数据收集工具。
为了解释一般舒适度问卷第一次和第三次测量之间的差异而进行的回归分析发现，曼陀罗艺术疗法是有效的，所建立的模型具有统计学意义。还确定，为确定个体总体舒适度水平的变化而进行的第三次和第一次测量之间的变化，实验组高于对照组（P<0.05）。可以看出，母亲们从成人复原力量表总量表及其子量表获得的平均得分在第二次和第三次测量中显著增加（P<0.05），但对照组平均得分的增加不显著（P>0.05）。
曼陀罗艺术疗法是一种提高有特殊需求儿童母亲舒适度和复原力的方法。母亲们与护士合作在特殊教育学校进行这些治疗可能有益。
