Abstract

Background: Menopause is a physiological phase experienced by every woman as she ages, characterized by a decrease in estrogen levels, which can lead to sleep disturbances. If left untreated, these disturbances can affect productivity and quality of life. One potential non-pharmacological approach to improving sleep quality is back massage therapy combined with lemon essential oil aromatherapy. Objective: This study aims to apply a combination of back massage and lemon essential oil aromatherapy to improve sleep quality in menopausal women in the work area of PMB Heni Winarti, Kebumen. Research Method: This study used a descriptive case study involving three menopausal women aged 45–65 years who experienced sleep disturbances based on a PSQI (Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index) score >5. The intervention was conducted over two weeks, four times, with a massage duration of 30 minutes and the use of lemon aromatherapy via a diffuser. Results: All participants showed a significant improvement in sleep quality, with post-intervention PSQI scores ≤5. Conclusion: Back massage therapy combined with lemon aromatherapy is effective in improving sleep quality in menopausal women
