KNOWLEDGE REGARDING COLLECTION OF CORD BLOOD FOR STEM CELL THERAPY AMONG B.SC NURSING 3RD YEAR STUDENTS

Ms. Priyadarshani G. Moon, Mr. Rahul Nigam

Abstract :

BACKGROUND:–Umbilical cord blood is blood that remains in the placenta and in the attached umbilical cord after child birth. Material and Method: Quantitative research approach, a structured close ended questionnaire. Statistical method– Students paired t test, Chi–square Test. Result: – the mean post test knowledge score (18.82) is apparently higher than the mean pretest knowledge score (8.85). The dispersion of pre test scores (SD=1.605) is more than that of their post – test scores (SD=1.91) and the computed‘t’ value shows that there is a significant difference between pretest and posttest mean knowledge score (t=25.701) .This indicates that structured teaching programme was effective in increasing the knowledge of 3rd year B.Sc. nursing students of Bombay Hospital, College of Nursing, Indore. The demographic variables indicated that there is no significant association between, age, religion, sources of previous knowledge and there is significance in previous knowledge about collection of cord blood for stem cell therapy. Thus the hypothesis that there will be significant increase in mean post test knowledge score than mean pre test knowledge score is accepted
