technique used in this research was consecutive sampling. The instrument in this
research was a questionnaire. Based on the results of Wilcoxon signed rank test
test it was found that the value of p value = 0,000 and α = 0.05, then this shows p
<α which means that this research shows that there is an influence of KIE
