Clinical Trial Summary

This study will examine the effects of Zentangle as an intervention for reducing stress and enhancing psychological wellbeing among Hong Kong adults. Zentangle is a mindful doodling process in which participants draw repetitive, structured patterns on small pieces of paper. The patterns consist of combinations of dots, lines, and curves. Zentangle is developed in 2003 by two Americans, and this concept is still new to many people. Some studies suggested that Zentangle can be effective in reducing stress and anxiety, but the number of research papers on Zentangle is limited. Although Zentangle has become a rather popular stress relief activity in Hong Kong recently due to its easiness to learn and minimal tool requirement, there is no related study on its effectiveness in promoting psychological wellbeing in Hong Kong.


Clinical Trial Description

This study will be a pilot randomized controlled trial on the effects of Zentangle as an intervention for reducing stress and enhancing psychological wellbeing among Hong Kong adults. Prior to all study procedures, an online informed consent (with phone support) will be obtained from potential participants. Around 30 eligible participants will be randomly assigned to either the Zentangle group or the waitlist control group in a ratio of 1:1. ;
