The purpose of this randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the impact of a mandala-based art intervention on mother-infant bonding and parenting self-efficacy among primiparous women (first-time mothers) who have had a negative birth experience. The study focuses on how structured creative activities can support emotional recovery and maternal confidence in the early postpartum period. A total of 66 participants were randomly assigned to either a Mandala Coloring Group or a Free Coloring Group. The intervention group participated in a structured session involving guided breathing, imagery, and symbolic mandala drawing designed for stress reduction and emotional expression. The control group engaged in a non-guided, free coloring activity. Data were collected using standardized tools, including the Mother-Infant Bonding Scale, the Karitane Parenting Confidence Scale, and the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory. The primary goal is to determine if the mandala-based intervention leads to significant improvements in the bond between mother and infant and increases the mother's confidence in her parenting abilities. Secondary outcomes include changes in anxiety levels following the intervention. All procedures were conducted in a supportive environment under researcher supervision to ensure participant safety and data integrity.
