Study summary

This study aims to investigate the effect of mandala coloring on anxiety, pain, vital signs, and patient satisfaction in patients undergoing transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP). The sample size was calculated based on the effect size (Cohen's d = 0.48) reported, who examined the effect of mindfulness-based mandala coloring on anxiety levels in patients undergoing coronary angiography. The effect size was derived from the anxiety scores measured 30 minutes after the patients returned to the ward following angiography. sample size was increased to 64 participants, including 32 patients in the intervention group and 32 patients in the control group. Data will be collected using the Descriptive Characteristics Form, State Anxiety Inventory (SAI), Vital Signs Monitoring Form, Visual Analog Scale (VAS), and Patient Satisfaction Assessment Scale. The study procedure will be conducted as follows: Upon admission to the urology clinic for surgery, all participants will complete the Descriptive Characteristics Form, State Anxiety Inventory, and Vital Signs Monitoring Form before the surgical procedure.Patients admitted for TURP will be screened for eligibility by the research team. After obtaining written informed consent from eligible participants, the research team will notify an independent consultant, who will perform the random allocation and inform the principal investigator (GB) of each participant's group assignment.Participants assigned to the intervention group will be asked to select a mandala design from a coloring book and color it for 20 minutes.Participants in the control group will receive the hospital's routine preoperative care and standard clinical procedures.Following the intervention, all patients will be prepared for surgery and transferred to the operating room.After surgery, once the patients return to the ward and are settled in their beds, the State Anxiety Inventory, Vital Signs Monitoring Form, Visual Analog Scale, and Patient Satisfaction Assessment Scale will be administered.

Primary outcome measure(s)

• Postoperative Pain — 12 months
  This scale allows patients to evaluate their level of pain on a line ranging from 0 (no pain) to 10 (extremely severe pain). It will be used to assess the intensity of pain experienced by the patients.
• Anxiety — 12 months
  The scale is designed to assess an individual's current emotional state by asking respondents to answer the items according to how they feel at that moment. It consists of 20 items rated on a four-point Likert scale with response options ranging from 1 (Not at all) to 4 (Very much so). The scale is considered invalid if more than three items are left unanswered. Total scores range from 20 to 80, with higher scores indicating greater levels of state anxiety.
• Vital Signs, — 12 months
  The Vital Signs Monitoring Form is used to record patients' vital signs before the mandala coloring intervention (upon admission to their hospital room) and after they return to the ward following surgery.
