| Sumario: | Schizophrenic mental disorders often occur with social withdrawal disorders, followed by symptoms of disturbed sleep patterns, anger, ineffective coping, changes in thought processes. Socialization Group Activity Therapy is a therapeutic modality given to patients withdrawing to improve their ability to communicate well verbal and non-verbal. This study aimed to determine the effect of Socialization Group Activity Therapy on communication skills in withdrawn patients, with a one group pre-test-post-test control design research design which is one type of quasi-experimental method. Samples were taken based on the quota with a total sample of 10 control groups and 10 TAKS treatment groups. Collecting data in this study by observation refers to the components of the verbal communication assessment. The test was carried out using the Wilcoxon non-parametric statistical method with the set error level α = 0.05. The results of Wilcoxon gave a Z value count = -2.209 p-value = 0.027 for the control group and a Z value = -2.499 p-value = 0.012 <0.05 for the SGAT treatment group. These two results suggest that statistically, the intervention has a significant effect on both the control group and the treatment group. From the results of the study, it can be concluded that there is a significant effect on the control group intervention with an average communication ability is sufficient, and there is a significant effect on the intervention group treatment with good communication skills on average. To increase human resources, especially in nursing, about SGAT, it is necessary to hold training on Socialization Group Activity Therapy.
