Post Traumatic Disorder, Reality TherapyAbstract
This paper aims to analyze the identification of reality therapy on Post-Traumatic Disorder experienced by nurse "N" at Tengku Ampuan Rahimah Hospital. It is to identify the factors causing PTSD in nurse "N". This is a field research with a qualitative approach, specifically a case study. Data collection tools for this study include interviews, observations, and documentation. This research employs data analysis techniques by Robert K. Yin, which involve cross-case synthesis, explanation building, and time-series analysis. The results of this research indicate that nurse "N" experiences PTSD symptoms such as intrusive re-experiencing of traumatic events, avoidance, hyperarousal, and negative alterations. Among the factors causing nurse "N" to experience PTSD are being a victim of Covid-19 as a previous traumatic experience and a lack of social support. Ongoing stress is also a contributing factor to nurse "N" experiencing PTSD. The application of the WDEP technique in reality therapy to address the PTSD experienced by nurse "N" shows that nurse "N" gains awareness by adopting new behaviors, feeling better than before. Nurse "N" becomes capable of effectively dealing with challenges, becoming more independent and responsible. Additionally, spiritual values are integrated into the guidance process to maximize positive outcomes from the therapy. In conclusion, counseling theories are highly applicable in this context and should be connected to the return of the client to spiritual values for maximum benefit.
