Perceptual Stimulation Group Activity Therapy on Hallucination Patients at the Pemenang Jiwa Sumatra Foundation.
Hallucinations are when a person experiences a change in the pattern and amount of stimulation that is initiated internally or externally in the vicinity with a reduction, exaggeration, distortion, or abnormality in response to each stimulus. Management of schizophrenic patients includes group nursing actions, such as group activity therapy. Group activity therapy is a psychotherapy performed by a group of patients together by way of discussions with each other led or directed by a trained therapist or mental health worker. The number of patients who participated in the perceptual stimulation group activity therapy amounted to 6 people. As a result of this therapy, after receiving perceptual stimulation group activity therapy, patients at the Pemenang Jiwa Sumatra Foundation increased their knowledge, understanding of how to control hallucinations and knowing how to have done it. Increased knowledge shows that patients are able to remember sp 1 - 4 from group therapy activities. It is recommended that patients who experience hallucination problems can be given Group Activity Therapy so that patients are able to perform actions independently and be able to cooperate with other patients.
