Elderly gradually experience various changes in their aspects of life. Changes that occur during this periodmaydisturb the stability of physiological and psychological processes which result in the sleep quality disturbance. It is necessary to prevent it by providing combination therapy to them. Objective: To determine the effect of thecombination therapy on the quality of sleep among elderly. Research Methods: this research used quasi-experimental design with non-equivalent control group design. We involved 28 elderly who had poor sleep quality. The samples were chosen by using purposive sampling method. We gave progressive muscle relaxation and murottal therapy to the intervention group, whilst we only gave progressive muscle relaxation therapy to the control group. The results indicated that 71.4% of elderly experienced sleep quality improvement after being treated bycombinationtherapy, while only 28.6% of the elderly experienced sleep quality improvement in the control group. The Mann Whitney Test results showed the number of p(0.000) <α(0.05) which means there was a difference in the quality of sleep between elderly in the intervention group and the control group.
