Steps that can be taken to increase knowledge include conducting education using booklet media. A booklet is a medium that can be used to convey information in the form of a book containing writing and pictures.

The data obtained were analyzed using the Wilcoxon test. Results: The results of the analysis on the knowledge variable obtained showed that the value of knowledge before education was a median of 11 with a minimum value of 0 and a maximum value of 18, and the value of knowledge after educationwas median of 15 with a minimum value of 8 and a maximum value of 20. The results of the data analysis with the Wilcoxon test obtained a p-value of 0.000 (<0.05).
