Abstract


This study aims to analyze the therapeutic communication of nurses during the preparation stage of social rehabilitation at the Budi Bhakti 2 Social Rehabilitation Center in Jakarta. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data were collected through observations, interviews, and literature reviews. Findings indicate that the preparation stage is crucial in rehabilitation, involving room assessments, medical and family history reviews, and doctor consultations. This stage helps nurses develop effective care strategies for residents. The study concludes that both the preparation and working stages are essential for successful rehabilitation. Enhancing nurses' therapeutic communication skills is recommended to improve intensive and holistic care, particularly for residents requiring total support.
