Detailed description

The goal of this interventional study is to learn about determine the effect of mandala art therapy on blood glucose level, mood and anxiety in pregnant women with abnormal oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) value. Pregnant women who apply to Malatya Training and Research Hospital gynecology outpatient clinics to have OGTT and meet the criteria will be invited to the study. The women will be informed about the method to be followed in the research, the voluntary information form will be read to those who want to participate in the research, and their verbal and written permissions will be obtained. Before Mandala art therapy, a personal information form, State Meta-Mood Scale (SMMS) and State Trait Anxiety Scale (STAI) will be applied to pregnant women in both groups. All blood collection and OGTT procedures for pregnant women in the experimental and control groups will be performed by hospital staff in line with hospital procedures.

The blood glucose levels of the pregnant woman at the time of measurement will be recorded from the patient records. As a post-test, the State Meta-Mood Scale (SMMS) and state anxiety scale will be applied again. Any procedure other than routine care will not be applied to the pregnant women in the control group. Likewise, the blood glucose levels of the pregnant woman at the time of measurement will be recorded from the patient records.
