ABSTRACT:
Umbilical cord blood is increasingly being used as a source of stem cells in the treatment of over 85 diseases and has been used in more than 20,000 transplants worldwide, including leukemia, myelomas, lymphomas, genetic disorders/diseases, immune system deficiencies, and blood cell disorders. Present study was aimed to assess the knowledge regarding umbilical cord stem cell therapy among nurses working in Apollo hospital. 40 samples were selected using purposive sampling and structured questionnaire was used for data collection. The findings revealed that the mean posttest knowledge score 15.91 was greater than the mean pretest scores 12.37. The mean difference between pretest and posttest scores was 3.54, the ‘t’ value 6045 was significant at 0.05 level. Hence this kind of education programme should be conducted from time to time for health personnel.
