Pengaruh Teknik Distraksi terhadap Penurunan Suara-Suara pada Pasien Halusinasi Pendengaran

Distraction Techniques and Self Reported Auditory Hallucinations in Patients Hearing Voices

Abstract

Background: Hearing voices can disrupt attention and cause distress, making coping skills relevant alongside usual care. Objective: To compare changes in self reported voice episodes and distress after structured distraction versus routine care. Methods: A two group quasi experimental design used 48 synthetic profiles, 24 per group. The intervention consisted of 15 minutes of distraction practice daily for seven days. Episodes per 24 hours and distress on a 0–10 scale were recorded before and after. Results: Mean daily voice episodes changed from 6.5 ± 1.6 to 3.5 ± 1.8 in the distraction group and from 7.0 ± 1.2 to 6.0 ± 1.6 in the comparison group. Distress changed from 7.0 ± 0.9 to 4.8 ± 1.5 and from 6.7 ± 1.0 to 6.2 ± 1.2, respectively. Conclusion: Synthetic profiles show greater decreases in reported voice episodes and distress after distraction training. Clinical effectiveness requires prospective assessment in actual patients.
