Schizophrenia is a collection of psychotic reactions that affect various aspects of an individual's functioning, such as thought patterns, communication, perception, interpretation of reality, and emotional expression. This disorder is generally characterized by chaotic thoughts, hallucinations, and unusual behavior. Hallucinations themselves are sensory perception disorders that cause a person to experience false sensations without any real stimuli, such as hearing voices, seeing things, smelling odors, feeling touch, or tasting flavors that do not actually exist.
This study was conducted for 4 days starting from February 3 to February 7, 2025 at Dr. Arif Zainuddin Surakarta Regional Hospital. This research method is a qualitative case study using descriptive writing techniques through nursing care for patients with schizophrenia who experience sensory perception disorders of visual hallucinations.
The results of the assessment showed that the client experienced a nursing problem of sensory perception disorders, visual hallucinations, as evidenced by the client often seeing figures that were considered his friends and feeling annoyed when the shadows appeared. The nursing actions given were hallucination management for 4 days based on the client's evaluation, which showed improvement by showing positive progress, namely seeing shadows decreased, the level of sensory perception distortion decreased, the frequency and intensity of hallucinatory behavior decreased.
In conclusion, mental health nursing care for schizophrenia patients with sensory perception disorders involving visual hallucinations requires a good therapeutic relationship between the nurse and the client to achieve optimal nursing outcomes.
