Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Purpose: The aim of this project is to examine the effects of mandala painting and music performance interventions on premenstrual syndrome symptoms and quality of life.

The study aims to reach all students experiencing PMS symptoms without resorting to sample calculations. Therefore, because a high effect size is expected in the study, a Cohen's standard effect size of 0.70, which is between medium and large, was assumed. Therefore (α = 0.05, effect size = 0.70, 1-β = 0.80), the minimum sample size was calculated as 120 participants (n = 40 for each group).

The study included a mandala painting group, a music performance group, and a control group. The mandala painting intervention will be administered twice a week for 8 weeks, and the music performance will be administered twice a week for 30 minutes, twice a day, for 8 weeks. Participants in the music performance group will listen to classical music. The control group will not receive any intervention. At the beginning of the study, data will be collected using a Personal Information Form, the Premenstrual Syndrome Scale (PMSS), and the WHOQOL-BREF-TR Quality of Life Scale. Data obtained in the study will be entered into a database using IBM SPSS 25.0 (Statistical Package for the Social Sciences), and all necessary statistical analyses will be conducted in the same program.

Intervention Model

PARALLEL

The study includes a mandala coloring group, a music performance group, and a control group. Participating students will be informed about the study and provided with an "Informed Consent Form" and a "Voluntary Consent Form." The mandala painting intervention will be administered twice a week for 8 weeks to the mandala painting group, and the music performance will be administered twice a week for 30 minutes, twice a day, for 8 weeks. Participants in the music performance group will listen to classical music. The control group will not receive any intervention. Data will be collected using a "Personal Information Form," the "Premenstrual Syndrome Scale (PMSS)," and the "WHOQOL-BREF-TR Quality of Life Scale."

Blinding Strategy

SINGLE

Participants
To determine the groups for university students who meet the sampling criteria for the study's randomization, participants will be assigned to the experimental and control groups using the "Randomizer.org" program. Numbers 1 to 120 will be randomized into three groups using a computer-assisted randomization program (https://www.randomizer.org). Students in the experimental and control groups will be prevented from interacting with each other to avoid being affected by the interventions. Inclusion and exclusion criteria, as well as exclusion from the study during the study, are specified below.
