Objective: To analyse the effect of Word Square "PENA" on diabetes mellitus knowledge among students of SMK N 4 Yogyakarta. Methods: This research is a quasi-experimental research using an equivalent control group design. The sampling technique used was simple random sampling. The samples used were students of SMK N 4 Yogyakarta, totalling 98 respondents, consisting of experimental and control groups. Statistical tests using the Wilcoxon signed rank test and the Mann-Whitney. Results: This study shows that 59.2% of respondents were in the poor knowledge category of diabetes mellitus based on the pre-test results. After being given education using the Word Square "PENA", their knowledge increased by 71.4%, moving to the high category. Statistical test results show p-value = 0.000 (P< 0.05). To determine the effect of the Word Square "PENA" on the knowledge of diabetes mellitus among students of SMK N 4 Yogyakarta.
