Patients in the control group will receive routine care.Patiens in the experimental group will receive routine care and mandala painting. Experimental group will paint mandala for 30 minutes/day in the evenings for six consecutive days. In order not to interrupt the duties of the nurse and doctor in the clinic, it was planned for the experimental group to paint mandalas in the evening. Six pre-selected mandalas were planned to be printed separately on A4 paper. Each patient will be given a new mandala each day. At the beginning of the study, six colors will be given to the experimental group (yellow, blue, green, red, purple, brown). It was planned to do it for 6 days, as it was found that painting mandala for more than a week in the studies could reduce the patient's attention. In addition, based on the average hospitalization days of the patients, reaching patients for more than a week will be a problem.

The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale

The scale consists of 14 items including 7 anxiety and 7 depression questions. Responses are in the form of a four-point likert. Each item is scored between 0 and 3, and the cut-off points of the scale were found to be 10 for the anxiety subscale and 7 for the depression subscale. Individuals who score above these scores are considered at risk. The scoring score of each item in the scale is different, and the 1st, 3rd, 5th, 6th, 8th, 10th, 11th and 13th items show that the severity is gradually decreasing and its scoring is 3, 2, 1, 0. The 2nd, 4th, 7th, 9th, 12th and 14th items of the scale are scored as 0, 1, 2, 3. Items 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, and 13 for the anxiety subscale, and items 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 14 for the depression subscale. The scores of the items are summed.
