Status Recruiting

Clinical Trial Summary

This research will be conducted to determine the effect of art therapy on the stress, anxiety and well-being of caregivers in the palliative care service.

Clinical Trial Description

Introduction and aim: Evidence for the use of art in health promotion has been increasing in recent years. However, in the literature review, no study was found in our country examining the effect of art therapy on caregivers. In palliative care, the management of psychological problems such as stress and anxiety that caregivers frequently experience is very important for the health and quality of life of both the patient and the caregiver. Accordingly, this research will be conducted to determine the effect of art therapy on the stress, anxiety and well-being of caregivers in the palliative care service. Methods: The research will be carried out as a randomized controlled experimental study in the palliative care unit of a training and research hospital. A distress thermometer will be applied to individuals who are primary caregivers of patients hospitalized in the palliative care unit, and caregivers with a stress score of 4 and above will be included in the sample. The block randomization method will be used in assigning the individuals included in the sample to the art therapy and control groups. Caregivers in the art therapy group will be given art therapy practices, lasting approximately 45 minutes-1 hour, twice a week for 4 weeks. Visual and handicraft practices (painting work, collage work, mandala work, painting with felt, clay work, painting and storytelling) are done in art therapy activities that will last for 4 weeks, and it is aimed to develop personal and emotional awareness, reduce stress and increase general well-being. Research data will be collected using Descriptive Information Form, Distress Thermometer, State Anxiety Inventory and Personal Well-Being Scale. Conclusions: It is thought that this study will increase attention to art therapy, improve stress and anxiety levels in caregivers, and strengthen current and future research in art therapy and nursing research. Given the key role caregivers play in palliative care, it is important to support caregivers as a necessity for holistic and comprehensive health care services ;

Clinical trials are conducted in a series of steps, called phases - each phase is designed to answer a separate research question.

Phase 1: Researchers test a new drug or treatment in a small group of people for the first time to evaluate its safety, determine a safe dosage range, and identify side effects.
Phase 2: The drug or treatment is given to a larger group of people to see if it is effective and to further evaluate its safety.
Phase 3: The drug or treatment is given to large groups of people to confirm its effectiveness, monitor side effects, compare it to commonly used treatments, and collect information that will allow the drug or treatment to be used safely.
Phase 4: Studies are done after the drug or treatment has been marketed to gather information on the drug's effect in various populations and any side effects associated with long-term use.
