The goal of the intervention is to reduce the negative symptoms of people with schizophrenia. The assessments used were interviews, observations, and psychological tests which included graphic tests (BAUM, DAP, HTP), WAIS, and SSCT. The client’s problem is that he loses the pleasure of doing daily activities that used to be fun or made him happy. The intervention uses Behavioral Activation Therapy by providing a daily activity schedule. The results of the intervention show a decrease in symptoms of anhedonia, marked by an increase in daily client activities including bathing twice a day, being on time in taking medication, praying and helping with homework
This study aims to determine the client's personal development and adjustment in the community after being diagnosed with schizophrenia. The method used in this research is qualitative, single-case experiment. The assessment techniques used in this study are interviews, observations, and psychological tests conducted by researchers on the client with schizophrenia. Based on the results of the assessment, the diagnosis, and the prognosis, an intervention is given to the client. The intervention given is behavior activation therapy. That is, a process whereby an individual diagnosed with schizophrenia is encouraged to develop himself and adjust to society by doing daily activities that he has never done before. The client, who was a 24-year-old male, relapsed 4 times in a period of 4 years. After the intervention and monitoring of daily activities of the client and follow-up, the results showed that the client could perform daily activities such as praying, cooking rice, doing exercise, cleaning the house, washing clothes, watering plants, taking medicine regularly and even improving his ability by working in a mattress factory. Understanding the client's potential is useful and helps increase his self-confidence. The client also managed to change his condition by increasing his contribution, from previously only useful for a few people, to be useful for many people. The client chose a new activity by working at home selling fried sausages and fruit juice in front of the house.
