Summary
This study tested whether doing artistic activities, like coloring mandalas, can help lower anxiety and improve hope and well-being in adults about to have abdominal surgery. 64 patients were split into two groups: one colored mandalas, the other did breathing exercises. Researchers measured anxiety, spiritual well-being, hope, and vital signs before and after the activity to see if art helped patients feel calmer and more prepared for surgery.
