Summary

This study aims to determine the effect of Zentangle practice on perceived caregiver burden, stress levels, and burnout among family caregivers of patients receiving palliative care. Zentangle is a visual art therapy method used for meditative purposes by promoting creativity and focused attention in individuals under stress, which can facilitate mental relaxation, stress relief, and mindfulness. The study is designed as a randomized controlled experimental trial with a pretest-posttest design. The sample consists of 60 family caregivers of patients hospitalized in a palliative care unit, randomized into an intervention group (n=30) and a control group (n=30). Participants in the intervention group receive a two-week meditative art therapy intervention based on the Zentangle method, while data are collected through face-to-face interviews using validated psychological scales before and after the intervention period.
