The method used was a case study with a nursing care approach involving three patients. The intervention was conducted for five consecutive days using structured drawing activities. The results showed a decrease in signs and symptoms in all patients, indicated by reduced self-talking behavior, fear, and improved focus and self-control. It is concluded that scheduled drawing therapy is effective in reducing auditory hallucination symptoms and is recommended as a supportive intervention in mental health nursing practice.
