Hallucinations are sensory perception disorders that attack the five senses, where a person perceives an object or image and thoughts that do not occur or are not real. Hallucinations include sound, sight, taste, touch, or smell sensations without real stimulus. Treatment for patients with hallucinations is by identifying the type of hallucination, applying medication, and implementing strategies to distract or overcome the hallucinations experienced. The objectives of this study include (1) Describing problems regarding sensory perception disorders and (2) Describing and implementing nursing care in cases of mental disorders with a medical diagnosis of schizophrenia at Soerojo Hospital Magelang.
