Summary

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of art therapy applied to inpatients in the psychiatry ward on disease severity and anxiety levels. Art therapy is considered a complementary intervention that can positively contribute to the psychiatric recovery process by facilitating the expression and regulation of an individual's emotional state.

This research will be conducted with a randomized controlled design and aims to demonstrate the effectiveness of art therapy practices within the clinical process through objective data. The originality of the study lies in the fact that art therapy will be implemented with individuals hospitalized in an acute psychiatric ward. In this respect, the study provides the opportunity to evaluate the applicability of art therapy even during crisis periods and carries the potential to make significant practice-oriented contributions to the field of mental health.
