The most common hallucinations are auditory hallucinations, about 70% of patients experience auditory hallucinations, 20% visual hallucinations, and 10% are olfactory, tasting and tactile hallucinations. One of the treatments for hallucinatory patients is occupational therapy. Occupational therapy is a very important way or form of supportive psychotherapy to improve patient recovery. Occupational therapy helps stimulate the patient through activities he enjoys. One type of occupational therapy that is indicated for patients who hallucinate is free time activities such as sweeping, cleaning the bed. The purpose of writing this literature review was to determine the effect of occupational therapy on symptoms in patients with auditory hallucinations based on a literature review search. The design in this scientific paper was a literature review using an electronic database search method and a google schoolar search source. From this writing, found 3 articles on Google Schoolar that discussed the effect of occupational therapy on leisure activities based on classification and outcomes in accordance with the research criteria.
