In the control group, the mean knowledge of patients before the intervention was 55.75, ± 7,036 SD, increasing after the intervention to 84.18, ± 9,895 SD. The P-Value value is 0.000 < 0.05 from the results of the analysis of the difference in knowledge between the experimental group and the control group after the intervention shows that there is a significant difference between the two; so that H0 is rejected and Ha is accepted.
