The operation to give birth to a child through an incision in the abdominal wall and uterus is called a cesarean section. If a person experiences deep feelings and pressures that cause psychiatric problems which can develop over a long period of time it can cause anxiety that happens to everyone.

The fear that is usually expressed directly is the anxiety that can be seen in every individual who will undergo surgery.

An alternative way out of this problem that can be done is to provide education about non-pharmacological therapy, namely five finger therapy. The services provided for pregnant women who will perform a caesarean section in the Hybrid room of the Sembiring Hospital are 19 people. The results showed that the education provided went smoothly and the level of anxiety in pre-cesarean mothers decreased
