PENGARUH HYPNOSIS TERHADAP KECEMASAN PADA CALON AKSEPTOR IUD

Objective: Anxiety about the installation procedure is an obstacle experienced by prospective
acceptors of the IUD method. One way to reduce anxiety is to use hypnotherapy techniques. This
study aims to determine the effect of hypnotherapy on the anxiety of prospective IUD family planning
acceptors. Methods: This research was a quasi-experimental study with a one-group pre-test and
post-test approach without a control group. This research was carried out at TPMB Farida Hajri in
January - March 2021. The population under study consisted of up to 40 candidate IUD acceptors.
Anxiety was measured using the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS). Test data were analyzed
using Wilcoxon. Results: There was a decrease in the anxiety level of prospective IUD acceptors
before and after receiving non-pharmacological hypnotherapy by 10.8 points. Based on the
calculation results of the Wilcoxon signed rank test, a Z value of - 6.145 was obtained with a
significance value of < 0.000 (p < 0.05), which was a significant difference before and after the
intervention. Conclusion: There are differences in the level of anxiety before and after receiving non�pharmacological therapy in the form of hypnotherapy intervention. Anxiety in family planning
acceptors is something that needs to be considered because it can cause an increase in pain scores in
IUD acceptors. Based on the results of this study, it is necessary to manage anxiety to increase
comfort in inserting the IUD so that it was expected to increase the coverage of contraceptive use,
especially IUD contraception
