The practice score was low (6.3000 ± 2.73585). There was a significant difference in KAP means according to gender (males KAP = 8.7778, 8.6111, and 5.3889 respectively). Females KAP = 9.5763, 9.8305, and 6.9661 respectively. The results showed that there was an insignificant difference in knowledge and attitude between the first group and the second group.
