There were 9 respondents (56.2%) who received family support and 7 respondents (343.8%) did not receive family support. The results of the chi-square statistical test found that there was a relationship between knowledge of the implementation of IMD with a p value = 0.036 < ∂ : 0.05 and there was no relationship between family support and the implementation of IMD with a p value = 0.035 > ∂ : 0.05.
