One non-pharmacological intervention that may help improve sleep quality during pregnancy is pregnancy massage. This community service activity aimed to improve the knowledge and skills of third-trimester pregnant women regarding pregnancy massage as an effort to reduce pregnancy-related discomfort and support better sleep quality.
