Caesarean section delivery often triggered anxiety in pregnant women due to its invasive and risky nature. One method to reduce preoperative anxiety related to caesarean section was by administering Murottal Al-Qur’an therapy. Murottal Al-Qur’an was believed to help calm the patient's psychological condition through spiritual approaches and sensory stimulation, allowing mothers to feel more relaxed and think positively and optimistically. This study aimed to determine the effect of Murottal Al-Qur’an therapy on reducing anxiety levels in mothers before undergoing caesarean section. This research was a quasi-experimental study using a one-group pre-test and post-test design. The instrument used was the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HARS) questionnaire. Data were analyzed using the paired t-test. A total of 17 subjects were selected using purposive sampling. The results showed that Murottal Al-Qur’an therapy had a significant effect on reducing maternal anxiety levels before caesarean section, with a p-value of 0,000 (p < 0,05). It is expected that this study could serve as a reference and be applied as an intervention for patients undergoing caesarean section to help reduce preoperative anxiety levels.
