First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at whether mandala art therapy can help people who have had colorectal cancer surgery feel stronger emotionally and cope better with their illness. About 70 adults will be split into two groups: one will do mandala art activities, and the other will receive standard care. Researchers will measure changes in coping skills and psychological resilience using questionnaires.
