Introduction: Obesity is one of the health problems that must be handled properly because it can affect individuals of all ages, from children to adults. Obesity occurs in school-age children because it can interfere with the health and body image of the child. Some interventions are believed to help lose weight in school-age children who are obese. Self Hypnosis therapy is one intervention that has been proven to be able to lose weight. The application of nursing care aims to determine the effectiveness of Self Hypnosis therapy on weight loss in school-age children who are obese.
