PENGARUH TERAPI HORTIKULTURAL TERHADAP RECOVERY PASIEN SKIZOFRENIA DI INSTALASI PELAYANAN KESEHATAN JIWA TERPADU RSUD BANYUMAS

Abstract

Horticultural therapy is considered a nursing intervention that aligns with the paradigm of personal recovery. This study aims to determine the impact of horticultural therapy on the recovery scale of schizophrenia patients treated at Instalasi Kesehatan Jiwa Terpadu of Banyumas Regional General Hospital. The research method employed a quasi-experimental approach, involving 30 patients in the intervention group and 30 patients in the control group. The intervention group received horticultural therapy for 5 sessions over 2 weeks, while the control group received routine therapy from the hospital. Recovery was measured using the Recovery Assessment Scale Domain-Stages (RAS DS). The research results showed a significant difference in mean RAS DS scores between the horticultural therapy group and the control group, with a p-value of 0.001 (P<0.05). These findings support horticultural therapy as an alternative intervention to support the recovery process for schizophrenia patients.
