Schizophrenia is a group of psychotic reactions that affect various areas of an individual's functioning, including thinking, communicating, feeling, and expressing emotions. It is also a brain disorder characterized by disorganized thoughts, delusions, hallucinations, and bizarre behavior. Hallucinations are defined as a disturbance in a person's sensory perception, in the absence of a stimulus. One type of hallucination is auditory hallucination (auditory-hearing voices or sounds). Hallucinations that occur in patients with auditory hallucinations can be overcome using non-pharmacological techniques, one of which is scheduled activity therapy. The purpose of this writing is to provide nursing care to patients with auditory hallucinations. who was treated at Grhasia Mental Hospital. The method used is a case study approach carried out holistically through a comprehensive assessment, determination of nursing diagnoses, intervention planning, evaluation and discharge planning according to Indonesian nursing standards. Interventions include management of hallucinations SP1-SP4, through therapeutic communication, distraction techniques, and structured activities. Evaluation was conducted to assess the patient's response before and after generalist therapy intervention and monitor changes in the intensity or frequency of hallucinations and improve the patient's ability to control hallucinations by showing signs of recovery. Based on the results of the implementation and evaluation of nursing for patients with sensory perception disorders, positive changes occurred after ongoing nursing interventions. Suggestion: Suggestion for further researchers is to conduct research on more than 1 patient. Education for patients with auditory hallucinations can involve regularly scheduled activity therapy from waking up to going to bed again so that patients understand the importance of controlling hallucinations in the healing process.
