Results: The data was analyzed by descriptive and inferential statistics. The knowledge gained through self instructional module was good as it was evidence with a highly significant difference (t=20.99 for knowledge, p<0.001 two tailed) and( t=6.05 for practice, P<0.001 two tailed) between the mean post-test (X2=14.50 for knowledge and X2 =7.64 for practice) and pre-test (X1=10.55 for knowledge and X1 =5.51 for practice).
