Summary

This study looked at whether a simple art activity—coloring mandalas—could help older adults living in nursing homes feel less anxious about death and manage anger. Eighty people aged 65 and older took part; half colored mandalas three times a week for 12 weeks, while the other half did not. Researchers measured their death anxiety and anger levels before and after the program.
