However, the use of this implementation is still minimal in nursing. Therefore, this research study was conducted to assess the effect of guided imagery in reducing pain intensity, especially in fracture patients. Method: The method of writing this article uses case studies in patients with costa fractures. Results and Discussion: After 3 days of guided imagery with Levine's theoretical approach, pain decreased from a scale of 6/10 to 3/10. Conclusions: Guided imagery is effective in reducing pain with Levine's theory approach in costa fracture patients.]]>
