Thalassemia is a common genetic disease and a global health problem. Treatment for thalassemia can cause physical and psychological changes, often leading to anxiety in children undergoing treatment. This study aimed to determine the effect of coloring play therapy on the anxiety level of children with thalassemia undergoing blood transfusions at Dr. Doris Sylvanus Palangka Raya Hospital. A quantitative pre-experimental design with a one-group pre-post test approach was used. The population consisted of all pediatric thalassemia patients in the Flamboyan room, with a sample of 30 respondents selected using purposive sampling. The results showed a significant effect of coloring play therapy on reducing anxiety levels (p = 0.000 < 0.05). Before the intervention, 14 respondents (46.7%) experienced moderate anxiety, while after the intervention, 29 respondents (96.7%) experienced mild anxiety. The findings are expected to inform the development of standard operating procedures for implementing image coloring play therapy.

The study concluded that coloring play therapy has a significant effect on reducing anxiety levels in children with thalassemia undergoing blood transfusions at Dr.This intervention shifted the majority of children from experiencing moderate anxiety to experiencing mild anxiety.These results suggest that incorporating coloring play therapy into routine care could improve the psychological well-being of pediatric thalassemia patients.
