Summary

This trial tests whether a simple mandala coloring activity can reduce perceived stress and anxiety in women hospitalized with high-risk pregnancies. Sixty participants will be randomly assigned to color mandalas daily for three days or to receive standard care. Stress and anxiety levels are measured before and after the activity using validated scales.
