This type of research is an analytic type of research using a Cross Sectional Study approach where data concerning the data of the independent variable and the dependent variable will be collected at the same time. The number of samples in this study were 37 health workers who work in the Pedongga Health Center Work Area, Pasangkayu Regency (total population).
