About this trial

This controlled interventional study aims to evaluate the effect of a Human Caring Theory-based yoga program on state anxiety levels in adolescents diagnosed with cancer. Adolescents aged 12-18 years who are receiving outpatient follow-up will be assigned to an intervention group or a control group. The intervention group will participate in an individualized four-week online yoga program delivered through Zoom, comprising two 60-minute sessions per week. The control group will receive no study intervention and will complete the same data collection forms. State anxiety will be assessed using the State Anxiety Inventory (STAI-I). The study will be conducted through the Pediatric Oncology Outpatient Clinic of Akdeniz University Hospital in Antalya, Türkiye.
