The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship of hypnobirthing participation with the level of anxiety of pregnant women in the face of childbirth.This research is an analytic research, using a retrospective cohort research design. The research sample was 20 people, taken randomly using purposive random sampling. Data collection includes filling out the HRS-A questionnaire. Data analysis used Wilcoxon and Mann Whitney Test.The results showed that pregnant women who followed hypnobirthing and who did not follow hypnobirthing were pre-tested and post-test, there were differences in the level of anxiety between the two groups, which was indicated by a p-value of 0.005 <0.05. Furthermore, the results of the study indicate a relationship between hypnobirthing participation and a decrease in the level of anxiety of pregnant women in the face of childbirth. This is indicated by the results of p-value 0.007 <0.05.The conclusion of this study is that there is a relationship between the participation of hypnobirthing and the level of anxiety of pregnant women in the face of childbirth.
