The validity of the tools used and their stability were verified by the appropriate methods. The study found the following results: There are statistically significant differences in the knowledge adequacy of the experimental group due to the indicative program and for the benefit of telemetry. The experimental group averages (105.75), while the control group averages (80.95). There are no statistically significant differences in the post-measurement between the experimental and control groups due to the marital status (single, married). (0.803) and control group (0.895). This means that the social situation did not affect the knowledge adequacy.
