Summary

The research will be conducted in a pre-test-post-test control group randomized control design. The aim is to examine the effect of mandala work on anxiety and mental fatigue in pregnant women diagnosed with threatened preterm labor. Hypotheses

1. Mandala coloring work reduces the level of anxiety related to pregnancy in pregnant women diagnosed with threatened preterm labor.
2. Mandala coloring work reduces the level of anxiety in pregnant women diagnosed with threatened preterm labor.
3. Mandala coloring work reduces the level of mental fatigue in pregnant women diagnosed with threatened preterm labor.

Pregnant women who meet the inclusion criteria will be given general information about the research before randomization, their consent will be obtained and pre-test data will be collected. Pregnant women whose pre-test data are collected will be assigned to the intervention and control groups using the simple randomization method.

Intervention group: Participants in the intervention group will be given a set of colored markers and a mandala coloring page and will be asked to color them at any time of the day and in any way they want during their hospitalization. Participants will be asked to take a picture of the mandala they colored and send it to the researcher after they are finished. Participants will be reminded daily so that they do not forget to do the activity. Research data will be collected a total of four times before randomization, on the 1st day, 2nd day and 3rd day after the mandala application was started.

Control Group: No intervention other than routine care will be made to the control group of the study, and research data will be collected at simultaneous time intervals with the experimental group.
