Sleep quality was measured by the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) questionnaire and estrogen levels were measured by the ELISA method. Data analysis using Paired Sample Test and independent T-Test. Data analysis showed a change in the mean score of sleep quality and estrogen levels in the intervention group after being given acupressure therapy intervention (p = 0.000) (effect size = 0.90). Hasil dari penelitian ini terdapat perbedaan rerata skor kualitas tidur dan skor kadar estrogen antara kelompok intervensi dan kontrol (p = 0,000) (effect size=1.17).
