Nursing Care For Patients With AuditoryHallucinations Through Psychoreligious Therapy(Dzikir) At RSJ Tampan Provinsi Riau

Abstract

Mental disorders, particularly schizophrenia, are serious mental health conditions characterized by hallucinations, delusions, and abnormal behavior. One of the main symptoms is auditory hallucinations, which can trigger anxiety, social isolation, depression,and even increase the risk of suicide. Based on data from RSJ Tampan Provinsi Riau in 2024,cases of auditory hallucinations reached 57.14%. Non-pharmacological therapies such as psychoreligious therapy (dzikir) have been proven to help clients manage hallucinations. This study aims to explore nursing care for clients with auditory hallucinations through the implementation of dzikir therapy in the Rokan Ward at RSJ Tampan. The method used is a case study with an Evidence-Based Nursing (EBN) approach, applying the SP 1–4 strategy for
hallucination control. The intervention was conducted over three days on one cooperative client. The results showed that dzikir effectively reduced anxiety levels and improved the client’s ability to recognize and manage hallucinations. This therapy helps the client become calmer, more focused, and better able to divert attention from hallucinatory voices. Thus, dzikir therapy is effective as a complementary intervention in mental health nursing care for clients with auditory hallucinations.
