This study aims to evaluate the effect of hypnotherapy on medication adherence among CHD patients at the Heart Clinic of RSUD Batang. The study employed a quasi-experimental method with a pre-post test design. The sample consisted of 52 patients divided into two groups: an intervention group (hypnotherapy) and a control group. The research instrument included a medication adherence questionnaire based on the Health Belief Model, which has been tested for validity and reliability. This analysis was conducted to test the difference in mean ranking from the results of two measurements in the same group, so the test used was the Mann Whitney test with an ethical test with the number 445/039/KEPRSUDBTG/IX/2024. The analysis revealed a significant increase in patient adherence after receiving hypnotherapy compared to the control group. Hypnotherapy positively influences patient behavior, including increased motivation to consistently take medications and attend health check-ups. Hypnotherapy is effective in enhancing medication adherence among CHD patients.
