Summary

This study tests whether coloring mandalas for 20 minutes before elective surgery can lower patients' anxiety and stress. Sixty adults scheduled for gallbladder surgery will be randomly assigned to either color a mandala or receive standard care. Researchers will measure anxiety and stress levels using questionnaires and vital signs before and after the activity.

What this could lead to
If it works, this could offer a simple, drug-free way to help patients feel calmer before surgery.
What could go wrong
This is a small, early-stage study with only 60 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. The effect may be small or no different from standard care.
