Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
Methods: The research will be carried out as a randomized controlled experimental study in the palliative care unit of a training and research hospital. A distress thermometer will be applied to individuals who are primary caregivers of patients hospitalized in the palliative care unit, and caregivers with a stress score of 4 and above will be included in the sample. The block randomization method will be used in assigning the individuals included in the sample to the art therapy and control groups. Caregivers in the art therapy group will be given art therapy practices, lasting approximately 45 minutes-1 hour, twice a week for 4 weeks. Visual and handicraft practices (painting work, collage work, mandala work, painting with felt, clay work, painting and storytelling) are done in art therapy activities that will last for 4 weeks, and it is aimed to develop personal and emotional awareness, reduce stress and increase general well-being. Research data will be collected using Descriptive Information Form, Distress Thermometer, State Anxiety Inventory and Personal Well-Being Scale.
Conclusions: It is thought that this study will increase attention to art therapy, improve stress and anxiety levels in caregivers, and strengthen current and future research in art therapy and nursing research. Given the key role caregivers play in palliative care, it is important to support caregivers as a necessity for holistic and comprehensive health care services
