Abstract
Cord blood stem cell research has been extensively explored worldwide to enhance human health in medical setting. Stem cells have tremendous promise to helping us to understand and treat a range of various diseases, injuries and other health-related conditions. Their potential is evident in the use of cord blood stem cells to treat diseases of the blood, A cord blood stem cell therapy has saved the lives of thousands of children with leukemia; and can be seen in the use of stem cells for tissue grafts to treat diseases or injury to the bone, skin and surface of the eye. Important clinical trials involving stem cells are underway for many other conditions and researchers continue to explore new avenues using stem cells in medicine. Genetic disorder rate in India 64.4 % (per 1000 live births), Rao and Ghose (2005) report that 1 out of 20 children admitted to hospital has a genetic disorder that ultimately account for about 1 out of 10 childhood deaths. In India ultimately urban area are affected with congenital malformation and genetic disorder are the third most common cause of mortality in newborns. There are an estimated 60-80 million people in the world who carry the beta thalassemia trait. People who carry thalassemia in India alone number approximately 30 million. The main objective of the study is to assess effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge and attitude regarding stem cell therapy among antenatal mothers in selected private hospitals at Namakkal district. One group pretest and posttest design was used for this study. The independent variable in this study is structure teaching program on cord blood stem cell therapy. The dependent variables in this study are knowledge and attitude. The study was conducted at jayaa and suguna hospital Tiruchengode which is a 100 bedded hospitals. Sample includes antenatal mothers with stem cell therapy at jayaa and suguna hospitals, who fulfils the inclusion criteria were selected by non probability convenient sampling technique. Structured teaching on knowledge and attitude regarding stem cell therapy among antenatal mothers. The comparison of pretest, the mean score of knowledge was 11.50 with S.D 2.70 whereas in the post test the mean score of knowledge was 33.06 with S.D 3.93. The calculated paired‗t‘ value of t = 57.742 was found to statistically significant at p<0.001 level. This clearly shows that the structured teaching programme imparted to antenatal mothers had significant improvement in the post test level of knowledge regarding cord blood stem cell therapy. There was a significant improvement of knowledge and attitude regarding stem cell therapy among antenatal mothers at Jayaa and Suguna hospitals after structured teaching as an intervention. Thus structured teaching on stem cell therapy was an effective intervention in the enhancement of knowledge and attitude among antenatal mothers. The present study conducted by the investigator, mainly focused on the structured teaching programme to improve the knowledge and attitude on stem cell therapy and was found effective and also the researcher insisted the antenatal mothers should improve the knowledge of stem cell therapy.
