About this study

Experimental group: The children, along with their parents, were interviewed by one of the researchers on their first day of hospitalisation. The parents were informed about the Descriptive Information Form and the Perceived Stress Scale for Children, which the researcher filled out in the presence of the children and their parents. The children were then given a colour-by-number mandala and colouring pencils. A different colour-by-number mandala was given to each participant every day; the mean length of hospital stay was 3 days. At the end of the third day, the same researcher interviewed the children and filled out again the Perceived Stress Scale for Children.
