Abstract

Anxiety is a psychological response that arises from unclear internal stimuli and is characterized by feelings of discomfort, worry, fear, and uneasiness, often accompanied by physical symptoms. This condition can be experienced by anyone, including family members of patients undergoing treatment in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), where uncertainty and concern about the patient’s condition can significantly increase anxiety levels. Therefore, appropriate and practical interventions are needed to help families manage anxiety and prevent more severe psychological effects. One such intervention is five-finger hypnotic therapy, a simple and non-invasive technique that can be performed independently, anytime and anywhere, and has been shown to be effective in reducing anxiety. This study aims to analyze the effect of five-finger hypnotic therapy on reducing anxiety levels among families of ICU patients at Santa Elisabeth Hospital Medan in 2024. The research employed a pre-experimental design using a one-group pretest–posttest approach. A total of 30 respondents were selected using accidental sampling. Data were collected using the Zung Self-Rating Anxiety Scale and a standardized operating procedure for five-finger hypnosis therapy. The results showed that before the intervention, 23 respondents (76.6%) experienced severe anxiety, while after the intervention, all respondents (100%) reported mild anxiety. The Wilcoxon signed-rank test revealed a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant effect of five-finger hypnotic therapy on anxiety reduction. It is recommended that families continue practicing this therapy regularly to manage anxiety effectively.
