This type of research uses experimental research designs with one group pretest-posttest design approach. The sampling technique uses purposive sampling with a sample of 35 respondents. The research instrument used observation sheets which were then analyzed by the Wilcoxon test. From the research results, the mean at pre-test is 1.63 and after the post-test is increased, the mean is 13.66. Based on the Wilcoxon test, a significant P-value of <0.001 is obtained, which can be interpreted as influencing before and after health education is given.
