According to the World Health Organization (WHO), health is not only a state of complete well-being in terms of illness and disability, but also physical mental and social well-being. Mental health, on the other hand, is a state of goodness in which the individual is aware of his own abilities, copes with the normal tensions of life, can work productively and efficiently and contributes to the society in which he lives. It has been shown in many studies that mental health problems negatively affect the existing disease process. For example, research shows an association between depression and anxiety and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases . In the New York Health Survey, 10,000 individuals representing 33 communities were surveyed by phone; it was found that the general health status of people who reported significant emotional distress was three times worse than those who did not report it . Realizing that mental health is more than just a disease will guide individuals and caregivers. Developing a more comprehensive clinical approach by focusing on a person's healthy, strengths, abilities and personal efforts is important in strengthening mental health. Applications for strengthening mental health include improving nutrition and housing conditions, increasing access to education, strengthening social networks, creating support environments. In the acceptance and stability therapy study of Bash and Dirik with cancer, it was determined that the negative psychological symptoms of the patients decreased and their expectations of life and quality of life increased. In another study , it was determined that the spiritual support practices provided to 150 individuals with breast cancer positively affected the state of spiritual, psychological and physical well-being. Cancer is a life-threatening disease that is common all over the world and affects the individual both physically and psychologically. Hematologic cancers are caused by bone marrow, the place of production of blood, and include diseases such as acute-chronic leukemias and multiple myelomas. Chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgical methods in the treatment of hematologic cancers; hormonal and biological treatment and bone marrow transplantation (CIS) may be preferred. Among the applications aimed at strengthening mental health are art-based applications (music therapy, applications for visual arts-painting, painting, mandala, clay works, etc.), collage, carving, sculpture, poetry therapy, etc.) as subheadings for the creation of supportive environments. we come across it. When the literature is examined, it is stated that the participation of individuals with art-based applications increases the adaptation process, helps them to find the meaning of life, increases their awareness of cancer and their life, is better adapted to disease and treatment, their emotional expression is more effective, and the state of spiritual and psychological well-being improves positively . Art-based applications provide a significant reduction in anxiety levels in adult cancer patients ; health-related quality of life . In other studies with cancer patients, it was found that art therapy practices reduce the feeling of anxiety and depression and cause a significant increase in health-related quality of life, patients feel more valued and strong, self-esteem increases, interpersonal relationships develop and they are more social .

Many South African men do not visit clinics or get tested due to multiple real and perceived barriers. Nkangala District has significant gaps to identifying PLHIV who are not on ART, reaching their ART targets, especially in adult men. Over 65% of PLHIV not on ART are men, which is a gap of over 39,000 men living with HIV needing to be tested and initiated on ART. - To improve case finding among men in Nkangala we will evaluate how best to reach partners of PLHIV (newly diagnosed or on ART) with index testing by using HIV self-screening (HIVSS) and linkage to ART start. - Secondary distribution of HIV self-screening kits (HIVSS), whereby clients bring HIVSS kits to their partners, addresses barriers by enabling partners to screen themselves at their convenience and in the privacy of their homes. Study Objectives: BroadReach in collaboration with UCLA, UCT and Nkangala DOH will pilot test an innovative index partner HIVSS strategy in one urban and one rural clinic to evaluate acceptability, barriers, and efficacy of secondary HIVSS distribution in a randomized control trial enrolling women newly diagnosed with HIV or on ART. - In the intervention arm, women will receive counselling on how to use HIVSS, how to encourage their male partner to screen, and 2 oraquick HIVSS with instructions and invitation to return for confirmatory testing. - In the standard of care arm, index women will receive counselling on the importance of disclosure to their family and partner(s) and referral for HIV testing (per South African national guidelines). Study design: Randomized control trial of n=180 WLHIV (90 in each arm) in four facilities (urban and rural) in the Nkangala district ensure that the results are generalizable.
This research was conducted to determine the effect of mindfulness-based mandala activity on the spiritual well-being and anxiety levels of senior nursing students in a parallel-group pretest-posttest randomized controlled study design. The required institutional permission and ethics committee approval was received.

Peripheral Intravenous Cannulation (PIVC), one of the most common therapeutic procedures in medical care, can be difficult even for experienced medical practitioners. The pain of intravenous cannulation is considered the major limitation in pediatric clinical care. Reducing the pain of intravenous cannulation has been the motive for many investigations. Intervention methods used to reduce the distress related to painful procedures are widely recommended. The management of pain and anxiety is more essential because it may modify children's memory for procedural pain and the subsequent acceptance of later health care painful interventions. Distraction is the most studied psychological technique to relieve venipuncture-related pain and distress, with strong evidence supporting its efficacy in children. Art therapy commonly used to reduce pain and anxiety of children's disease but was not used in reducing distress outcomes of painful procedures. We used a collection of the image need for coloring and tracing called Trace Image and Coloring for Kids-Book (TICK-B). The purpose of this study is to exam the effectiveness of TICK-B in decreasing pain and anxiety during cannulation.
