And the research sample used in the experimental group and control group was 20 people. this study involved experimental groups that received art therapy sessions and control groups that did not receive interventions. Stress and emotional scale are measured before and after intervention. The results show that the experimental group experienced a significant decrease in stress levels and increased emotional control compared to the control group.
