At first the data were collected from the control group to avoid contamination. Three sessions of Origami for 3 days were conducted for children in experimental group. Each session was conducted for 30 minutes per child. The children were taught to make colorful animal, fish, fortune teller, frog etc. For the control and experimental group, the stress and anxiety were assessed after 3 days using the tools. The findings of the study reveal that Experimental group had significant reduction in the stress and anxiety in comparison to control group at p<0.001. Hence providing Origami to hospitalized children is effective in reducing Stress and anxiety.
