The aim of the study is to examine the effects of mandala activity applied to pregnant women hospitalized due to high-risk pregnancies on pregnancy stress and fear of childbirth. The study was designed as an experimental study. The sample size of the study was calculated based on the study conducted by Rondung et al. in 2018 to evaluate the effects of internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy on fear of childbirth. The sample size of the study was calculated using G\*Power 3.1. 9.2 and the mean and standard deviation values of the effect of cognitive behavioral therapy on fear of childbirth variable in the relevant article were taken into account to calculate the effect size. The blended effect size was calculated as 0.28 using the mean and standard deviation of the relevant article. The minimum number of individuals to be included in the sample of this study was calculated with G\*Power 3.1. 9.2 using effect size: 0.28, α= 0.05, power: 0.95 (group1= 75, group2-75) and the sample size was determined to be at least 75 participants in each group. To collect data in the study, Individual Informed Consent Form, Introductory Information Form, STAI FORM TX - 1, STAI FORM TX - 2, Pregnancy Stress Assessment Scale, Fear of Birth Scale will be used.
