THE EFFECTIVENESS OF FIVE-FINGER HYPNOSIS THERAPY IN REDUCING ANXIETY IN INTRA UTERINE DEVICE TYPE ACCEPTORS

Abstract

IUD insertion is associated with high levels of nervousness in most people,
and anxiety and fear can cause discomfort during IUD insertion. Relaxation
techniques are non-pharmacological techniques used to reduce anxiety and
pain by tensing the muscles. Not many have applied the five-finger hypnosis
relaxation technique to reduce pain in both hospitals and health institutions as
a learning medium. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of
five-finger hypnosis therapy on the anxiety of prospective IUD acceptors. This
study's research design is pre-experimental research with a research approach
using one group pre-test and post-test. The sample in this study is 30 new IUD
acceptors at the Muhammadiyah Hospital in Gresik, which is the criteria. The
Wilcoxon statistical test results showed a p-value of 0.000. These results
indicate a significant difference in anxiety levels before and after the
intervention. The five-finger hypnosis intervention reduces the level of anxiety
in new IUD acceptors.
