Moreover, in the posttest, 8 (26.7%), 19 (63.3%), 3 (10%) had good, average poor knowledge, respectively, whereas the knowledge score of control group was showing that 1 (3.3%), 7 (23.3%), 22 (73.3%) women had good, average poor knowledge in pre-test whereas in post-test, 3 (10%), 13 (43.3), 14 (46.6%) women had good, average and poor knowledge. Pre-test mean ± SD of the both groups were 10.43 ± 4.732 and 10.9 ± 4.110. The mean ± SD of experimental group was 19.10 ± 4.551 in post-test knowledge score and 12.6 ± 4.780 of control group. P-value P = 0.05 level of significance that depicted there was significant difference between pre-test and post-test knowledge.
