Questionnaires were used to collect data during June - August 2019. The data was analyzed by descriptive statistics including frequency, percentage, mean and standard deviation, and comparative analysis using Chi square test, Independent t–test, and Dependent t–test, with a significance level of .05</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; The results revealed that the group of pregnancy under this study aged between 17-32 years old and gestational age between 7-23 weeks. A pre-test knowledge average score of a controlled group and experimental group were 9.9 and 10.63, respectively. After participating in the program, a post-test knowledge average score of a controlled and experimental group had increased to 11.67 and 12.27, respectively.
