Abstract
This study proposes a model of spiritual hypnosis. It investigates its effect on comfort, pain, and Endorphin levels in post-operative femur fracture patients in four east java hospitals. This study used a Pre-posttest quasi-experiment with a control group design. This study used 34 samples of Post-operative femur fracture patients divided into two groups, 17 patients in the control group and 17 in the treatment group. The level of comfort, pain, and Endorphin were measured before and after the treatment using questionnaires and blood samples. The control group received the standard intervention, while the treatment group received spiritual hypnosis. The findings indicated that spiritual hypnosis decreased pain and improved comfort level but did not affect Endorphin level- path analysis demonstrated that spiritual hypnosis reduces pain through enhanced comfort without mediation by Endorphin. Previous research found that endorphins were not involved in hypnotic analgesia. Hypnosis is not primarily mediated by opiate endorphin. At the same time, plasma Endorphin levels were not significantly affected by hypnosis
future research needs to consider environmental and patient conditions, as they may affect pain levels when applying spiritual hypnosis.
