Summary

This study looked at whether mandala painting can improve psychological well-being, emotional self-efficacy, and reduce anxiety in women with gynecologic cancer during the perioperative period. 84 patients were randomly assigned to either a mandala painting session or standard care. The painting sessions lasted 35-50 minutes, and researchers measured changes in anxiety and well-being using standard questionnaires.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only, not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance
mandala painting
What this could lead to
If effective, mandala painting could offer a simple, drug-free way to ease anxiety and boost emotional well-being for women undergoing gynecologic cancer surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study with 84 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The intervention is behavioral, so benefits may be modest or not reproducible in larger groups.
