Hypnobirthing is a non-pharmacological childbirth approach that combines relaxation, breathing techniques, and visualization to reduce fear, anxiety, and perceived pain during labor. This study aimed to assess knowledge of hypnobirthing among 87 nursing students at Akal College of Nursing, Baru Sahib, District Sirmaur. Using a semi-structured questionnaire and convenience sampling, data were analysed through descriptive and inferential statistics. Results showed that 48.3% of students had adequate knowledge, 32.2% had moderately adequate knowledge, and 19.5% had inadequate knowledge. The mean knowledge score was 13.32 with SD of 3.610. A significant association was found between knowledge levels and both the year of graduation (p = 0.055) and prior awareness of hypnobirthing (p = 0.000), while other socio-demographic variables showed no significant correlation. The findings suggest a generally adequate level of awareness among students, emphasizing the need for curriculum integration and targeted educational strategies to enhance knowledge and support evidence-based, holistic maternity care.
