Background: Anxiety during pregnancy, particularly in the third trimester, is a prevalent issue that can lead to complications such as prolonged labor and adverse fetal outcomes. World Health Organization (WHO) data indicates significant anxiety rates in pregnancy globally. Hypnobirthing is a non-pharmacological holistic approach proposed to manage this anxiety. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the effect of hypnobirthing relaxation techniques on anxiety levels among third-trimester pregnant women. Methods: This study employed a pre-experimental design with a one-group pretest-posttest approach. The study was conducted at the Penimbung Public Health Center (Puskesmas), West Lombok. The population comprised 217 third-trimester pregnant women, from which 32 respondents were selected using purposive sampling based on inclusion criteria. Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon signed-rank test with SPSS version 24. Results: Prior to the intervention, 56.3% of respondents experienced severe anxiety. Following the hypnobirthing intervention, the rate of severe anxiety decreased significantly to 6.2%, while 25.0% of participants reported no anxiety. The statistical analysis yielded a p-value of 0.000 (p < 0.05), indicating a significant reduction in anxiety levels. Conclusion: Hypnobirthing relaxation techniques are effective in significantly reducing anxiety among third-trimester pregnant women. It is recommended as an adjunctive therapy in antenatal care.
