Method: This research used a quasi-experimental design with pre-post design with the control group. Sampling was carried out systematically during the study period with samples was taken according to inclusion criteria. The target number of samples is set using the difference formula average. The instruments that measure Imsonia used is PIRS. Data analysis was carried out on all subjects in both groups A and B with analysis statistics measuring the difference between PIRS before and after intervention. Results: The results of the Mann-Whitney test before the intervention in group A obtained a mean rank of 16.07. Before the intervention in group B obtained a mean rank of 19.45. Statistically, it showed that the difference was not significant, p=0.33 (p>0.05). The results of the Mann-Whitney test after intervention in group A had a mean rank of 22.10 and after intervention in group B had a mean rank of 14. 93.
