Abstract
Introduction. Hepatitis B is an infectious disease caused by HBV (Hepatitis B Virus). This virus is about 100 times more infectious than HIV.

Aim. The aim of the study was to analyze the knowledge of nursing students and other non-medical students on hepatitis B. Material and methods. The study was conducted among 103 students of nursing and 103 other students of non-medical faculties . The method of diagnostic survey, questionnaire technique and author's questionnaire were used. Results. The vast majority of nursing students have considerable knowledge of the risk factors for infection, prevention and diagnosis of hepatitis B. Among students of other faculties , there is a significantly lower level of knowledge regarding risk factors for infection, prevention and diagnosis of hepatitis B. Conclusions. Nursing students should actively participate in preventive activities and programs that aim to reduce the risk of hepatitis B.
