Which were achieving the confidence level of Knowledge KR 20 = 0.87, attitude = 0.799, and the nursing practice = 0.839. Data analysis was descriptive and also used Pearson's Product Moment Correlation.
The results of the research showed that nursing students had a moderate level of knowledge 51.25% (= 17.35, S.D.= 2.53. The students' attitude had a positive at good level 92.5% (
= 42.63, S.D.= 5.56). The nursing practice was at very good level 83.75% (

The findings of relationships between knowledge, attitude, and nursing practice showed that knowledge of students was statistically significantly correlated with students' attitudes (r= .316, p= .01).
