The Application of Art Therapy to Patients Undergoing Hemodialysis Treatment
Sponsor: EMİNE İNAL
Summary
Purpose of the Study: This study aims to investigate the effect of art therapy on anxiety and psychological resilience levels in Chronic kidney disease(CKD) patients undergoing hemodialysis patients. Hemodialysis patients undergo long-term treatment, often experiencing psychological issues such as anxiety and depression, which significantly reduce their quality of life. Among non-pharmacological approaches to alleviate these symptoms, art therapy has gained increasing attention. Art therapy helps patients shift their focus away from their illness, fosters self-confidence, reduces anxiety, and promotes relaxation .

Interventions
Art Therapy for Anxiety in Hemodialysis Patients
Patients in the experimental group will be administered the Volunteer Information and Consent Form, the Patient Information Form, and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory prior to the intervention. Then, for four weeks, the experimental group will participate in art therapy sessions involving drawing and painting for approximately 30 minutes, twice a week. In the first week, patients will be asked to paint a given picture. In the second week, they will be given a different picture to paint. In the third week, they will be asked to draw and paint a picture of their choice. In the fourth week, they will again be asked to draw and paint a picture of their choice. At the end of the fourth week, the scales will be completed again. After this, there will be a one-month break from art therapy, during which no intervention will be conducted. At the end of this month, the same scales will be administered again to the experimental group.
Art Therapy for Resilience in Hemodialysis Patients
Patients in the experimental group will be administered the Volunteer Information and Consent Form, the Patient Information Form, the Brief Resilience Scale, prior to the intervention. Then, for four weeks, the experimental group will participate in art therapy sessions involving drawing and painting for approximately 30 minutes, twice a week. In the first week, patients will be asked to paint a given picture. In the second week, they will be given a different picture to paint. In the third week, they will be asked to draw and paint a picture of their choice. In the fourth week, they will again be asked to draw and paint a picture of their choice.
