This analysis uses univariate and bivariate analysis. Bivariate analysis using paired t-test. Analysis of bivariate Wilcoxon correlation data, obtained score correlation coefficient questionnaire about knowledge between (pretest) and after (posttest) given treatment in the form of progressive relaxation of 0,000 with sig numbers or p-value = 0,000> 0.05 or significant.
