Research method : This Research has the non-experimental character with the descriptive method of correlation use the cross sectional approach. Sampling techniques which used are accidental sampling with the total samples are 30 responders. Validity test use the Product Moment test and reliability test use the Alpha Cronbach test. For data analysis, it uses the Kendal tau-b test with test of normality data use the z test. Result of research : Result of Kendal tau-b correlation analysis indicate that the count value equal to -0,745 with the probability 0,000 (p z table .
