Abstract

Background: Infants aged 3–6 months are in a critical growth period in which sleep quality plays an important role. Infant massage is a non-pharmacological intervention that may improve infant sleep quality. Objective: To determine the effect of infant massage on sleep quality among infants aged 3–6 months at TPMB “S” Bayongbong, Garut, in 2025. Methods: This quantitative study used a pre-experimental one-group pretest–posttest design. The sample consisted of 30 infants aged 3–6 months who received routine infant massage for a specified period. Sleep quality was assessed before and after the intervention using the Brief Infant Sleep Questionnaire (BISQ). Data were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test with a significance level of p < 0.05. Results: Before the intervention, 66.7% of infants had poor sleep quality. After routine infant massage, all infants (100%) demonstrated good sleep quality. The Wilcoxon test showed a statistically significant difference in sleep quality scores before and after the intervention (p < 0.05), indicating a significant effect of infant massage on improving infant sleep quality. Conclusion: Infant massage is effective in improving sleep quality in infants aged 3–6 months. This intervention may serve as a simple therapy that can be performed independently by parents with education and guidance from healthcare providers, particularly midwives.
