About this trial
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effects of drawing and writing activities on anxiety and positive and negative affect in adolescents with type 1 diabetes. A total of 50 adolescents aged 9 to 18 years will be randomly assigned to either the intervention or the control group. Participants in the intervention group will take part in a five-day online drawing and writing program, while the control group will receive standard care. Anxiety and positive and negative affect will be assessed before and after the intervention using validated questionnaires. The findings may provide evidence for the use of art-based interventions to support the psychological well-being of adolescents with type 1 diabetes.

Drawing and Writing Intervention

The intervention consists of five individual sessions conducted over five consecutive days, each lasting approximately 25-30 minutes. Guided activities include drawing, emotion-focused art exercises, and brief reflective writing designed to facilitate emotional expression and coping with type 1 diabetes. All sessions are delivered individually by the same trained researcher using standardized instructions.

State Anxiety
State anxiety will be assessed using the State Anxiety Inventory for Children (SAIC). The SAIC is a validated self-report instrument consisting of 20 items scored on a 3-point Likert scale. Total scores range from 20 to 60, with higher scores indicating greater state anxiety.
Time frame
Baseline (Day 1, before the intervention) and immediately after completion of the intervention (Day 5).2
