safety training activities for health workers. Knowledge change was measured using a pre and posttest

the analysis showed positive changes in average knowledge with an increase in community knowledge
(97.3%) and health workers (100%). The results of this activity become the provision of the
community or health workers to increase their role in the safety of treatment with knowledge that has
