Umbilical cord blood was previously considered a waste product. It is now used to treat a variety of diseases. Umbilical cord blood is the blood that remains after childbirth in the placenta and the attached umbilical cord. Cord blood is collected because stem cells found in it can be used to treat hematopoietic and genetic disorders. The study aimed to see how effective video-assisted teaching on cord blood collection for stem cell therapy was among antenatal women. A quasi-experimental (onegroup pretest and post-test) research design was adopted for this study. Sixty antenatal women who were attending antenatal OPD were selected by Purposive sampling. The structured questionnaire collected data to assess the level of knowledge regarding umbilical cord sample collection and stem cell therapy. In addition, structured, validated video-assisted teaching was done by experts in the field. The present study depicts that the pre-test means the level of knowledge of 5.48 with an SD of 2.04...

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.

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.

Pregnant women's knowledge and attitudes about stem cells and cord blood banking
International Nursing Review, 2009
This study was to determine pregnant women's knowledge and attitudes towards stem cells and cord blood banking in Istanbul, Turkey. Background: Stem cell research is one of the most important and, at the same time, the most controversial topics of science and technology today. Nurses need to understand stem cell research so they can enter the debate on this issue. They can become important sources of information in order to help parents understand the issues. Methods: This exploratory descriptive study was conducted in two antenatal outpatient clinics in Istanbul. The sample consisted of 334 pregnant women during routine prenatal visits. Data were collected in interviews by using an interview form developed by the researchers according to the literature. The form included demographic characteristics of participants and 20 questions about stem cells, storing cord blood and banking and 10 independent attitude statements. Results: The majority of the participants had a lack of knowledge about stem cells and cord blood banking and wanted more information. Before pregnancy, they received some information through the media (newspaper, Internet, television, etc.), but unintentionally. It was determined that they wanted information before becoming pregnant, more from their obstetrician but also from nurses and midwives. The majority also wanted to store their infants' cord blood and stated that they would be more likely to choose a public cord blood bank. Conclusion: Those giving ante-and perinatal care need to offer accurate and scientific counselling services on this subject to parents who need to be informed.

Introduction: The most effective therapy for life-threatening blood disorders and bone marrow dysfunction is using hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). World wide, patients' waiting lists for HSCT donor are increasing since the number of requirement is bigger than voluntary donors. The major reason behind inadequate number of donors is lacking of community awareness and low level of knowledge. Thus, this study aimed to assess medical students' experience in donation, basic knowledge and attitudes regarding HSCT. Method: This study was carried out in Medicine College at Taif University. An online questionnaire was created and consisting of 23 questions. Result: showed 41.7% of medical students were not registered in Saudi stem cell donor registry (SSCDR). Only 1.7% of students have donated marrow in the past. However, 19.5% of them were donated blood and/or blood products previously. In this study, students showed low level of basic knowledge regarding donation process. Only 5% of the students were aware of that the registration in the SSCDR is not require providing a blood sample. Positive attitude toward joining donor registry drive and donating with HSC was reported among medical students. The result showed more than 50% of participants were agree to join registry drive in their area and 60.1% were welcome to donate stem cells during their medical school days for unrelated individual. Majority of students (89%) were willing to donate stem cells to any family member who matched with them and needed bone marrow transplantation. Conclusion: This study suggested that increasing awareness level and education is essential for the purpose of improving the medical students information, attitude toward joining SSCDR and donating HSC to save others' life.
