Effect of structured teaching programme on umbilical cord blood stem cell among staff nurses
Stem cells had been considered as the master cell and foundation of the human body. The main source of stem cell is Umbilical cord blood and umbilical cord tissue. Presently, stem cell therapy had managed more than 80 diseases conditions successfully. A pre-experimental one-group pretest posttest study was conducted to determine the effect of Structured teaching programme on Umbilical Cord Blood Stem Cell among Staff nurse, working in KIMS,Hospital,Bhubaneswar,Odisha. Convenient sampling technique was used to select 50 Staff Nurses who were assembled the sampling criteria and study was conducted for the period of one months. A structured questionnaire was used to gather the information about Demographic variables and pre-test and post-test knowledge on Umbilical cord blood stem cell. The collected data was analyzed by using Descriptive and Inferential Statistics. The study interpreted that the post intervention had tremendous effect on the study population to raise their knowledge level and there is a significant association between knowledge score with their selected Demographic variables. The study was come to an end that structured teaching programme is effective to increase the knowledge of Staff nurses on Umbilical cord stem cell.
Vinesh, 2017 states that stem cells are the foundation of the human body and considered as the master cell of the body. Blood, bones, skin and muscles are formed from the master cells known as stem cells that act as building blocks of our body. Just like a seed of a plant which gives branches, leaves and fruits and these stem cells have the potential to develop into specialized cells of our body such as blood cells, muscle cells, brain cell, etc.Waller-Wise, 2011 reviews that umbilical cord blood was once considered as a waste product of the birthing process, but now it is valued for its stem cells. Nearly 30 years after the first successful umbilical cord blood stem cell transplant, now more families are seeking information about whether or not to invest in saving their newborn's umbilical cord blood. Saving the cord blood in public banks is a worthy undertaking for any family. The unavailability of bone marrow donors and the problems related to bone marrow transplantation including graft failure and graft-versus-host disease, have urged the search for alternative sources for bone marrow cells. Therefore, the investigator felt the need to create awareness and conduct the study to educate staff nurses on UCB stem cells banking. An experimental research approach with quassi-experimental one group pre and post-test design was adopted. Convenience sampling technique was used to select 190 staff nurses working in selected Hospitals of Odisha. A closed ended knowledge questionnaire and video assisted teaching module were administered. Mean post-test knowledge scores were significantly higher than the mean pre-test knowledge scores. There was an improvement in the level of knowledge as tested by paired 't' test & Chi-square test. Results were found to be statistically significant (P< 0.05). This study demonstrated that VATM on UCB stem cells banking was effective in improving the knowledge of staff nurses.

A critical link that supports and nourishes the baby in the womb for 9 months is the umbilical cord and called the life line. After a baby is born and the umbilical cord is cut, some blood remains in the blood vessels of the placenta and the portion of umbilical cord referred to as cord blood. It is the richest source of stem cells that have the potential to treat serious diseases. It is once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to preserve a biological resource that could be lifesaver for child or other family members. Umbilical cord stem cells are highly proliferative and are becoming common therapy for treating a number of diseases and disorders. Nurses are at the forefront of health care delivery and are therefore directly involved in all the processes of stem cell collection, use and also are in close contact with mothers during their pregnancy and delivery. So nurses can counsel them regarding the importance of stem cells. In present study pre-experimental one group pre test post test only design was selected. Convenience sampling technique was used to select 60 nurses working in maternity units. Structured knowledge questionnaire was used collect data on knowledge of umbilical cord stem cell collection, preservation and utilization. Result of study showed that more than half (53.3%) of nurses were in age group of 21-25 years and all (100%) of the nurses were females. Most of the nurses had done General Nursing Midwifery (91.7%). According to clinical experiences it was revealed that (31.7%) had more than 8 years experience in context of previous experiences; nurses (47.7%) had maternity ward and (40%) had labour ward and remain (18.3%) had operation theatre experience. Most of the nurses (61.7%) had mass media exposure from magazines and newspapers. The mean of the knowledge score of post test (23.60±5.016) is higher than pre test (13.68±6.358). There is mean difference of pre test and post test is 9.92. It means the knowledge score increased after structured teaching programme (STP). Here calculated t value (14.191)> tabulated t-value (2.00). H 0 rejected as t cal 14.191 > t tab 2.00 ∞ at 5% level of significance.

Introduction: Stem cells are a primitive cell type found in all animals and are capable of both self-renewal and differentiation. It is this capacity for self-renewal and for differentiation into repair cells that offers great potential for regenerative medicine. Purpose of the study was to assess the effectiveness of Self Instructional Module (SIM) on knowledge regarding cord blood banking & stem cell therapy among antenatal women in selected health care institutions of Pune city Material and method: A Quasi-experimental Pre test – post test control group design with Non probability Purposive Sampling method. The tool consisted of section I (demographic data), and section II (structured knowledge questionnaire) to assess the knowledge on cord blood banking & stem cell therapy. Result: Majority 44% of the control group and 62% of the experimental group participants are in the age group of 21 to 25 years. 32% of participants of control group are educated up to primary level. While in the experimental group most of the participants i.e. 38% have secondary level of education. Most of the participants are housewives / homemakers i.e. 80% participants from control group and 88% participants from experimental group. 44% of the participants from both the groups had no children.58% participants from control group and 68% from experimental group are Hindus. The mean score of experimental group is less i.e. 1.20 in pretest which has increased to 2.54; this increase is found significant which has determined the effectiveness of Self Instructional Module (SIM). Pre-interventional finding are only associated with the level of education of the participants. Conclusion: The analysis reveals that Self Instructional Module was helpful to improve the knowledge regarding cord blood banking & stem cell therapy among antenatal women.

Present study attempts to assess the "Effectiveness of self-instructional module on knowledge regarding stem cell banking among staff nurses in hospitals. Methods and Material: Purposive sampling technique with the pre-experimental and post-test design was used. The sample of this study comprised 60 staff nurses who were working in the Obstetrics and Gynaecological ward. A structured knowledge questionnaire was used to collect data from the subjects. The collected data was analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics and interpreted in terms of the objectives and hypothesis of the study. Results: In pre-test knowledge on stem cell banking, out of 60 staff nurses, 13(22%) had inadequate knowledge, and in post-test after implementation of SIM, 53(88%) of subjects had adequate knowledge, and 7(12%) had moderate knowledge. The above results indicate that SIM effectively increased the ability of staff nurses on stem cell banking. The association was found between the knowledge scores of subjects with demographic variables such as gender, area of residence, and years of clinical experience, which was significant at the level of 0.05. It is recommended that a similar study can be conducted on a larger sample to arrive at a generalization. Moreover, nurses and midwives are part of health care in all the stages of our lives. Thus, nurses must be knowledgeable and aware of recent trends in diagnosis, treatment. Education provides means by which nurses can remain up to date with current developments, maintain their competence and meet the standards of nursing practice. Conclusion: The study's findings reveal that staff nurses' knowledge had enhanced regarding stem cell banking.

Background: Under-five mortality is a major concern, especially in a developing country like India. In <5 years age group, most vulnerable population is the neonatal period (0-28 days of life), accounting for more than half of under-five child deaths. Neonatal period has also an important bearing on long term growth and development of the baby. That is why the care of the new born plays a vital role in determining child health and under-five mortality rate. Methods: Mothers were classified according to some socio demographic factors. Each mother was given a questionnaire comprising of 25 questions on knowledge and 14 questions on practice of newborn care. For each correct response 1 point and for each incorrect response 0 point was allotted. Finally, the total score was computed. Knowledge was categorized as inadequate (score 0-7), satisfactory (score 8-16) or adequate (score 17-25). Practice was categorized as inadequate (score 0-4), satisfactory (5-9) or adequate (10-14). Chi- square test was applied to determine whether any statistical correlation existed between the socio-demographic profiles and knowledge and practices. A p value of <0.05 was considered to be significant. Results: Answers of 200 mothers were analyzed. Most of them had satisfactory knowledge (91.5 %). Majority of them had adequate practice (54%). This study shows that there is significant association of level of knowledge and practice with selected demographic variables. There was significant association between educational level and knowledge (p<0.00001). No association was observed between knowledge and age (p=0.1657), parity (p=0.014). There was a significant association between parity and practice (p=0.00001), occupation (p=0.00001). No association between age(p=1.828) and education (p=1.8884) with practice of postnatal mothers. Conclusion: Maternal knowledge and practice about new born care play vital roles in prevention of neonatal death. Some socio demographic factors may bear associations with the knowledge and practice of the mothers. Educating the mothers and also their family members plays a pivotal role. Key words: knowledge, postnatal mothers, neonatal period
