Interventions
Mandala Coloring
Children in the intervention group will receive a mandala coloring-based nursing intervention conducted by the researcher for 20 minutes once daily over three consecutive days. The session will take place in the patient's room or a quiet area within the pediatric clinic at a time that does not interfere with routine care. Each child will be provided with an individual mandala coloring book and a set of 12 colored pencils. Prior to the session, brief communication will be established to explain the activity, allowing the child full autonomy over color selection and coloring style without interference. Communication from the researcher will remain neutral, standardized, and age-appropriate. Children in the control group will receive routine clinical care only, with no mandala coloring or other distraction interventions applied.
