The research participants were conducted in 2 groups: hypnotherapy group n=27 and the control group n=27. Intervention every week for 7 weeks. Assessment of stress by PSS (perceived stress scale), a-amylase and ß-endorphin at baseline and after 7 weeks of intervention.
Results: Hypnotherapy can reduce stress lower to hypnotherapy group than control groups (p<0.001), stress level hypnotherapy group (11.592±3.165) and control group (21.481±7.546). Hypnotherapy can increase ß-endorphin levels higher to hypnotherapy group than control groups (p<0.001), hypnotherapy (284.844 ±114.577) pg/ml and control group (130,102±60.375) pg/ml. Hypnotherapy can reduce a-amylase levels lower to hypnotherapy group than control groups (p<0.001), hypnotherapy (31.000±9.942) µl/ml and control group (46,963±9.496) µl/ml.
