Abstract
Stem cells are the basic building blocks of the body and have the potential to replenish other cells and give rise to number of tissues which constitute different organs. Major sources of stem cells are bone marrow, peripheral blood, placental cord blood or cord blood, and embryo. The placental cord blood is one of the richest and non- controversial sources of stem cells. They are the building blocks of the blood, immune system and precursors of various cells and tissues. Today, placental cord blood stem cells are a major breakthrough in regenerative medical research, in the field of medicine worldwide. On an average more than 260 patients receive placental stem cells transplant each month and more than 25,000 transplantation have been done from the year 1998 throughout the world. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM: A study to assess the effectiveness of self-instructional module on knowledge regarding placental stem cells utilization among staff nurses in selected hospitals at Madurai. METHODOLOGY: Quantitative research approach was used in this study. The research design adopted for this study was pre- experimental one group pre- test post-test design. The study was conducted in Apollo Speciality hospitals, Madurai. Convenient sampling technique was used for sample selection. The sample size was 100 staff nurses who fulfilled the inclusion criteria. OBJECTIVES: 1. To assess the pre-test level of knowledge regarding placental stem cells utilization. 2. To assess the post-test level of knowledge regarding placental stem cells utilization. 3. To evaluate the effectiveness of self Instructional module on placental stem cells utilization. 4. To find out the association between the post -test level of knowledge with selected demographic variables among nurses such as age, sex, religion, marital status, type of family, area of residence, professional qualification, institution studied, previous work experience, years of experience, availability of educational programme in the hospitals, sources of knowledge about placental stem cells utilization. HYPOTHESES: 1. The mean post-test knowledge score of nurses who had self- Instructional module regarding placental stem cells utilization will be significantly higher than mean pre-test knowledge score. 2. There will be a significant association between post-test knowledge regarding placental stem cells utilization and the selected demographic variables of nurses. MAJOR FINDINGS OF THE STUDY: ❖ Majority of the samples were in the age group of 22-25 years 62(62%). ❖ Majority of the samples were females 90 (90%). ❖ Majority of the samples were Christians 52 (52%). ❖ Majority of the samples were un-married 63 (63%). ❖ Majority of the samples belongs to nuclear family 76 (76%). ❖ Majority of the samples belongs to living in Urban 56(56%). ❖ Majority of the samples were belongs to GNM 38 (38%). ❖ Majority of the samples had completed in Govt. School of nursing 39 (39%). ❖ Majority of the samples had previous work experience in neonatal ward was 37 (37%). ❖ Majority of the samples belongs to 1-5 years of experience 72 (72%). ❖ Majority of the samples had availability of educational programme 35 (35%) In- service education. ❖ Majority of the samples had the source of knowledge regarding placental stem cells utilization got information from stem cell banks- Newsletters 43 (43%) ❖ The pre-test score reveals that 54 (54%) nurses had inadequate knowledge, 45 (45%) had moderately adequate knowledge, 1 (1%) had adequate knowledge regarding placental stem cells utilization. ❖ The post-test score 33 (33%) nurses had adequate knowledge, 67(67%) had moderately adequate knowledge, and none of them had inadequate knowledge regarding placental stem cells utilization ❖ The mean posttest knowledge score of the subjects28.00 is higher than the mean pretest knowledge score 16.00. The calculated ‘t’ value 35.178 is greater than of table value (1.984) at 0.05 level of significance. Which indicates that Self Instructional Module is effective in gaining in subjects knowledge regarding placental stem cells utilization. ❖ Chi-square was computed to find out the association between mean post- test knowledge score and demographic variables. The result shows there is a significant association between area of residence, professional qualification, institution studied, previous work experience, Availability of educational programme, source of knowledge about placental stem cells utilization. Other demographic characteristics did not show association with knowledge regarding placental stem cells utilization. RECOMMENDATIONS: On the basis of present study, following recommendations are made, ❖ Similar study can be done with large sample. ❖ A similar study can be conducted to assess the knowledge and attitude among staff nurses. ❖ A comparative study also can be done to determine the knowledge and practice of placental stem cells utilization among urban and rural hospitals. ❖ A comparative study can be conducted to assess the knowledge regarding GNM students and B.Sc. Nursing students. ❖ A similar study can be conducted in the community area among nurses in the primary health centre. CONCLUSION: Self -Instructional Module on placental stem cells utilization was effective in improved adequate and moderately adequate knowledge. So awareness programme could be organized related to current status in health. Periodically nurses need to be motivated to attend more conferences, workshops, and continuing education programme to get updated.
