ABSTRACT
This study was carried out to ascertain the impact of drama on students knowledge and attitude towards vaccination (Hepatitis B). Two research questions and two hypotheses were raised and analyzed for the purpose of the study. A purposive sampling technique was used in the selection of fifty (50) undergraduate students who were drawn from 100 level students of the Departments of Health, Safety and Environmental Education (HSE) and in the Faculty of Education, University of Benin for the purpose of the study. The data were collected with questionnaire instrument and analyzed using mean and standard deviation. It was revealed that students from the experimental group who were exposed to a health educative drama on hepatitis B vaccination had good knowledge and attitude towards hepatitis B vaccination compared to students in the control group who were not exposed to the drama. The difference in their attitudes was significant, based on the data from the findings of this study. It was also revealed through further findings of this study that students from the experimental group exposed to the drama became abreast with the knowledge of hepatitis B as well as the vaccination itself compared to students in the control group who were not exposed to the drama. The knowledge level for the students in the control group on hepatitis B vaccination was moderate. More findings of this study revealed that drama is effective in providing knowledge for students' and promoting positive attitudes on hepatitis B vaccination.
