Read the detailed description
Participation in the study is voluntary. All individuals living in a nursing home who volunteered to participate were included in the study. All elderly individuals with sufficient physical and mental capacity were contacted.
All individuals living in a nursing home who met the study criteria were included in the study group. Participants were asked to color mandalas for eight weeks. Data collection forms were administered before and after the study. Due to the current conditions at the nursing home, all participants were willing to participate in the coloring activity, and this request could not be denied. Therefore, there was no control group.
The scales will be completed face-to-face. The data obtained will be processed using SPSS. The statistical analyst will not know which group is the experimental group and which is the control group.
The results were compared before and after.
