Komunikasi Terapeutik dalam Pendekatan Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) di Rumah Sakit

Abstract

Stress is conceptualized as a relationship between a person and the environment that the person perceives as taxing or exceeding resources and endangering his or her mental well-being. This is because the patient tries to adapt to the new environment, namely the hospital so that the condition becomes a stressor for the patient. Recently, therapeutic communication has been adopted especially in the practice of communication between spiritual directors and patients in improving the mental state of patients. In this case, the MBSR approach can be used to deal with patients who experience stress while in the hospital. This research is based on qualitative with a focus on the method of literature study. In the MBSR intervention, therapeutic communication which is intended in this case to help patients involves interpersonal communication between patients and Spiritual Guides to help reduce patient stress. With this approach, the patient will feel valued, accepted, and directed by the supervisor while in the hospital. This will have an impact on the patient's open attitude to express his feelings and thoughts so that the emotional burden and tension he feels can be reduced. Therefore, it can be concluded that therapeutic communication with the MBSR approach aims to help patients reduce the burden on patients' feelings and thoughts during the hospital treatment process.
