Introduction:  a person's sensory perception, without any stimuli in the form of responses from the five senses, is accompanied by signs of behavioral symptoms that do not align with reality. One of the therapies that can be applied to patients with hallucinations is Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Objective: This study aims to determine the effectiveness of implementing ACT on patients with nursing problems related to sensory perception disturbances: hallucinations. Method: Using a rapid literature review. Article searches were conducted on several databases, namely Pubmed, ScienceDirect, Scopus, and EBSCO. For articles, several inclusion criteria were used, such as articles published in the last 10 years and written in English. The articles used are full-text articles and can be accessed for free. After conducting a screening through several stages, 5 articles were obtained that met the criteria and could be used as literature review material. Results: From all the articles received, it was shown that there is a significant improvement between the administration of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which can provide reduction/improvement in patients with hallucinations. Conclusion: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) has a significant effect in reducing hallucination symptoms. Further research is expected to evaluate the long-term impact of Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) on patients with hallucinations, including the sustainability of psychological flexibility and coping skills.
