Abstract

Kidney failure is a condition characterized by a sudden decrease in kidney function. It occurs when the kidneys are unable to eliminate the body's metabolic waste or perform their regular functions. One of the therapies used to remove uremic toxins and regulate the body's fluids and electrolytes is haemodialysis. Anxiety in patients can be addressed through both pharmacological and non-pharmacological therapies. One effective non-pharmacological approach to reduce anxiety is Five Finger Hypnosis. This study aims to evaluate the application of Five Finger Hypnosis in alleviating anxiety in haemodialysis patients. The research methodology involved assessments using nursing care, interviews, and questionnaires. The results indicated a significant decrease in anxiety levels before and after the intervention. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that the application of Five Finger Hypnosis is highly effective as a non-pharmacological therapy for reducing anxiety in haemodialysis patients at RSUD Tidar Magelang City.
