After that, subsequent questionnaire (selfadministered) was performed on both groups. Results: Interest towards work center was described. In preliminary questionnaire between both groups, significant difference wasn't recognized (p=0.807), but in subsequent questionnaire, it resulted that interest degree was significantly higher in intervention group (p=0.033) compared to control group. Interest towards community life support center was described. In preliminary questionnaire, significant difference wasn't recognized in both groups (p=0.514), but in subsequent questionnaire, it resulted that interest degree was significantly higher in intervention group compared to control group(p=0.003).
