Quasy eksperiment research type, posttest design–only non equivalent control group. The sample number of 66 respondents consisted of 33 intervention group respondents and 33 control group respondents with purposive sampling techniques. The results of the study averaged the knowledge of nurses intervention group 14, with a value range of 11-15, and the average control group of nurse knowledge 13, with a range of values 5-15. Average nurse skills in intervention group 8 with a range of grades 7-8, and the average control group nurse skills 7 with a range of grades 6-8. The results of the Mann-Whitney test showed a significant difference in the knowledge of nurses between the intervention group and the control group, p value = 0.022. There was a significant difference in the skills of nurses between the intervention group and the control group, p value = 0.001.
