Objective: The aim of this project is to examine the effects of mandala coloring and music performance interventions on premenstrual syndrome symptoms and quality of life. The study aims to reach all students experiencing premenstrual syndrome symptoms without resorting to sample size calculations. Therefore, since a high effect size is expected in the study, Cohen's standard effect size of 0.25, which is between moderate and large, was accepted. Therefore (α = 0.05, effect size = 0.25, 1-β = 0.80), the minimum sample size was calculated as 108 participants (n = 36 for each group). The study includes a mandala coloring group, a music performance group, and a control group. The mandala coloring intervention will be applied twice a week for 8 weeks, and the music performance will be applied twice a day for 30 minutes for 8 weeks. Participants in the music performance group will listen to classical music. The control group will not receive any intervention. The Demographic Information Form, the Premenstrual Syndrome Scale (PMSS), and the WHOQOL-BREF-TR Quality of Life Scale will be used as data collection tools. The first measurement will be administered before the interventions. The second measurement will be collected in the fourth week after the intervention, and the third measurement in the eighth week. The data obtained in the study will be entered into a database using IBM SPSS 25.0 (Statistical Package for Social Sciences), and all necessary statistical analyses will be performed in the same program.
