Consequently, the demand for safe and acceptable complementary and alternative therapies (CATs) such as hypnotherapy has increased. However, little is known about the efficacy of hypnotherapy for weight loss. This three-phase study aimed to determine the effectiveness of hypnotherapy on the health outcomes among people with excess weight in a public university in Terengganu, Malaysia. Phase I, a cross sectional study among 30 selected respondents (mean age=26.2±8.2 years; female=66.7%; student=63.3%) with body mass index (BMI) ≥25.0 kg/m2 was conducted in Universiti Sultan Zainal Abidin (UniSZA). It ascertained that 23.3% of participants had previously used CATs modalities, with herbal or dietary supplements (20.0%) being the most common. Most indicated excellent feasibility (>86.7%) and good overall acceptability (>60.0%) of the brief, two-hour hypnotherapy session tested in Phase I. The Malay version of Utilisation and Perception of Complementary and Alternative Therapies (UPCATs) used also was considered clear, comprehensive, easy to complete (<5 minutes) with good overall reliability (α=0.71). In Phase II, participants’ anthropometry, body composition, blood pressure, dietary intake, physical activity, general health, mental health and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) among staff and students after undergoing hypnotherapy for 12 weeks were then investigated. This pre-and post-study involved 107 participants (BMI≥25.0 kg/m2) who were randomly assigned to either intervention group (IG = 53) or control group (CG = 54). All participants received health education (diet + exercise + behavioural recommendations), with those in IG having additional three hypnotherapy sessions once a month. A total of 104 completed the trial (mean age = 26.3 ± 8.0 years; female = 82.2%; student = 71.0%). Results demonstrated significant decrements of weight (-4.61%, p = 0.021), BMI (p = 0.035), total energy (p = 0.033), carbohydrate (p = 0.019) and total fats (p = 0.002) intakes in IG after controlling for age, gender and baseline variables on repeated measurements. Besides, participants who frequently practised self-hypnosis lost more weight (-6.27%, p <0.001) than those non-practising at all. In particular, hypnotherapy had also demonstrated positive impacts on body composition, blood pressure, general health, mental health and HRQoL status. Consequently, the qualitative Phase III was designed to explore the usefulness of hypnotherapy, and the perceived barriers and facilitators of healthy lifestyle changes following the intervention. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 participants (mean age = 23.7 ± 5.1 years; female = 73.3%; student = 53.3%; weight loss = 5.1% – 10.8%) who completed hypnotherapy sessions in Phase II. Hypnotherapy was further proven as an effective complementary approach for weight loss, with the belief that it promotes motivation to shift toward healthy habits. Personal, social pressure and environmental factors were identified as the barriers and facilitators to healthy lifestyle changes. The evidence derived from this study is clearly promising – hypnotherapy could be an effective complementary tool for combating obesity and overweight problems as part of future weight management programmes.
