Asuhan Keperawatan pada Tn. M dengan Waham Curiga Melalui Terapi Orientasi Realita di Rumah Sakit Jiwa Aceh

Abstract

Delusions are the most prevalent symptom of schizophrenia, a complicated mental illness. One of the positive symptoms of schizophrenia is delusional thought process disorder. People with these symptoms typically act in ways that correspond to the type of delusion they are experiencing. This case study aimed to analyze comprehensive nursing care by implementing generalist therapy and reality-oriented therapy for suspicious delusional patients at the Aceh Mental Hospital. The method used was a case study approach by providing generalist therapy for three days and reality orientation theraphy for seven days of assistance. The sample used in this case study was a patient with suspicious delusions treated in the Balee Tanjong ward at Aceh Mental Hospital. The results of this case study showed that there was a decrease in the frequency of suspicious delusions after reality- orientation therapy. In addition, patients reported feeling more at ease, having better attention and concentration, making good eye contact, and not seeming to be talking to himself. In summary, reality-oriented therapy and generalist therapy can reduce delusion symptoms. Therefore, nurses at Aceh Mental Hospital need to improve nursing care by implementing generalist and reality orientation on therapies to optimize the recovery process for suspicious delusional patients.
