Sample: A purposive sample of 220 pregnant women were recruited. Tools: three tools were used for data collection; a structured self-administered questionnaire, knowledge assessment sheet and modified likert scale for maternal attitude. Results: illustrated that there was a highly statistically significant improvement in relation to pregnant women’ knowledge and attitude regarding hepatitis B virus infection at post-intervention phase compared to pre-intervention phase (P ≤ 0.001).
