The dependent variable in this study was sleep quality among breastfeeding mothers. Data analysis included univariate and bivariate methods, using the Shapiro-Wilk normality test and the Wilcoxon test for bivariate analysis. The results show that out of 34 postpartum mothers surveyed, the chi-square test yielded a p-value of 0.000 (< 0.05) for diet and 0.018 (< 0.05) for chronic disease, indicating that both diet and chronic diseases influence sleep quality. Regarding effleurage massage, a p-value of 0.000 (< 0.05) was obtained, allowing the conclusion that Efflurage Massage has a significant effect on sleep quality.
