The findings of the study also show no association between knowledge with educational status and years of experience (?2 =0.021, 0.86) at 0.05 level of significance. The association between attitude with educational status and year of experience (?2 =152.56, 80.2) are statistically significant at .05 level. While there is a correlation exists between knowledge and practice (r=0.361, p=0.002) at 0.05 level of significance, the correlation between knowledge and attitude (r=0.208, p=0.084), practice and attitude (r=0.032, p=0.795) are not significant at 0.05 level.
