ASSESS THE EFFECTIVENESS OF STRUCTURED TEACHING PROGRAMMED REGARDING COLLECTION OF CORD BLOOD FOR STEM CELL THERAPY

used to analysis the pre-post data on studied variables. The difference in pre-post mean scores (gain score) on knowledge & attitude among antenatal mothers were also correlated with each other. The results are presented in section A, B & C respectively.

The stem cells, derived from the cord blood are hematopoietic stem cells. These have immense potential in curing blood related disorders like blood cancers, thalassemia etc. These can be useful in treating tissue related disorders of heart, bone, spinal cord etc. Stem cells are characterized by the ability to renew through mitotic cell division and differentiate into a diverse range of specialized cell types. 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. To conduct the study, 60 antenatal mothers are selected; the age range of subjects was 21 to 40 years. The need for the study arises after knowing those antenatal mothers were unaware and having inadequate knowledge regarding cord blood collection for stem cell therapy. The above facts created an interest to conduct a structured teaching programme to assess its effectiveness on knowledge and attitude of antenatal mother on cord blood collection for stem cell therapy. The pretest, the mean score of knowledge is 13.2 mean % is 50. 7

…………………………………………………………………………………………………….... Introduction:-
Umbilical cord is the vital direct interlink between mother and fetus, which is always depicted as the relationship of an emotional bonding of motherhood, when mother gives birth, the blood that remains in the placenta and umbilical cord is referred as cord blood. This particular blood contains numerous hematopoietic stem cells that have the ability to differentiate into other cells and the ability to self-regenerate.
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,treat diseases or injury to the bone, skin and surface of the eye.

Statement of The Problem
Assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programmed regarding collection of cord blood for stem cell therapy at bram hospital of raipur.
1. To assess the pretest knowledge and attitude score of antenatal mother regarding cord blood collection for stem cell therapy. 2. To determine the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on cord blood collection for stem cell therapy. 3. To find out the association between pre test knowledge and attitude scores of antenatal mother on cord blood collection for stem cell therapy with selected demographic variables.

Materials and Methods:-
Sample-The sample for this study included antenatal mothers who meet inclusive criteria. It consists of 60 antenatal mothers. Samples were selected from Govt.hospital, Raipur.

Tools
1. Section -A-It deals with demographic variables, which includes Age, Religion, Gravida, Education, Occupation, Types of family, previous source on stem cell therapy. 2. Section -B-This section consists of structured questionnaire to assess the knowledge among antenatal mothers.
It consists of 26 multiple choice questions. Scoring was done for each item. In each question there was only one right choice. Each correct answer was given a score of one and wrong answer carries score of zero. Knowledge was measured in terms of knowledge score. The total scores of knowledge were 26. 3. Section -C-A likert attitude scale was prepared by the investigator to assess the attitude of stem cell therapy among antenatal mothers. It consists of 10 statements. Each statement was scored.

Design -Pre experimental design -one group pretest post test
Intervention -To interpretation of data collected from 60 antenatal mothers admitted in govt. Hospital Raipur (C.G.). Analysis was done by using descriptive statistics (mean, mean percentage and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (t-test and chi-square test), Findings revealed that the improvement of knowledge and attitude towards the cord blood collection for the stem cell therapy.

Method And Procedure:-
First of all, 60 antenatal mothers were selected. Pre test were taken before the commencement of the study period. Similarly stem cell, cord blood collection regarding teaching programme was organized for antenatal mothers before. After seven days counselling post test data on knowledge & attitude checklist was again collected. Paired sample't' test was used to analysis the pre-post data on studied variables. The difference in pre-post mean scores (gain score) on knowledge & attitude among antenatal mothers were also correlated with each other.  Section b: Assess the pretest knowledge and attitude score of antenatal mother regarding cord blood collection for the stem cell therapy.   The table 4:-shows that in the pretest, the mean score of attitude is 31.58, mean % 63.16 with S.D 8.81 whereas in the post test the mean score of knowledge 38.05,mean % 76.1 with S.D 7.23 at degree of freedom 59. The calculated paired t'value of t = 8.21 is found to statistically significant at 0.05% level. This clearly shows that the structured teaching programme imparted to antenatal mothers had significant improvement in the post test level of attitude regarding cord blood stem cell therapy. The table 5:-shows that in the association between knowledge score and attitude score, the calculated chi square is 4.43,is less than tabular value 15.51,as level of significant 0.05, The

Results:-
The calculated value of chi square of age Significant.

Discussion:-
In the present study it was observed with data analysis, interpretation and discussion of the data collected to interpretation of data collected from 60 antenatal mothers admitted in govt. Hospital Raipur (C.G.). Analysis was done by using descriptive statistics (mean, mean percentage and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (t-test and chi-square test), Findings revealed that the improvement of knowledge and attitude towards the cord blood collection for the stem cell therapy.

Summary
The umbilical cord is one of the richest sources of pure young stem cells in the human body. Stem cells are the very foundation of the human body. Every part of our body including blood, bone, skin and muscles are formed from master cells known as stem cells. Cord blood stem cells are master cells of our body used in the treatment of nearly 80 diseases, including wide range of cancers, genetic diseases and blood transplant. When a transplant is successful a healthy new immune system has been treated. Umbilical cord stem cells when preserve under cryogenic conditions have no expiration date, thereby providing life time benefit.

Conclusion:-
On the basis of results it may be concluded that effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge and attitude regarding cord blood stem cell therapy among antenatal mothers. The results revealed that structured teaching programme is very effective in increasing the level of knowledge and attitude at p<0.01 level. Bibliography:-
