Method: The study design used in this research is cross sectional. The sampling technique was a total sampling of 30 respondents. The analysis used is univariate and bivariate analysis using the Chi Square test. Results: From the research, it was obtained that the age factor had a P value of 0.006 < 0.05, the gender factor had a P value of 0.015 < 0.05, the education factor had a P value of 0.001 < 0.05, the knowledge factor had a P value of 0.002 < 0.05, and the economic status factor (health insurance) with a P value of 0.026 < 0.05.
