Abstract Background: Umbilical cord blood stem cells are an important source of hematopoietic stem cells used in the treatment of several life-threatening diseases, including leukemia, lymphoma, and various genetic disorders. With increasing advancements in regenerative medicine, umbilical cord stem cell banking has gained considerable importance. Nurses play a vital role in educating and counseling expectant mothers regarding cord blood banking; therefore, their knowledge and attitude toward this practice are crucial.
Objective: To assess the knowledge and attitude regarding umbilical cord stem cell banking among staff nurses working in selected hospitals.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among 60 staff nurses using a non-probability convenient sampling technique. Data were collected using a structured questionnaire consisting of demographic variables, a knowledge assessment questionnaire, and a Likert-type attitude scale. Descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation were used to summarize the data, while chi-square tests were applied to determine the association between knowledge and attitude levels with selected demographic variables.
Results: The mean knowledge score among participants was 13.37 ± 3.83, indicating a moderate level of knowledge. Nearly 45% of the staff nurses demonstrated good knowledge, while 41.7% had moderate knowledge and 13.3% had poor knowledge. The mean attitude score was 25.98 ± 4.83, suggesting a generally neutral to positive attitude. A majority (51.7%) showed a neutral attitude, while 48.3% demonstrated a positive attitude toward cord blood banking.
Conclusion: Although staff nurses demonstrated moderate knowledge and generally favorable attitudes toward umbilical cord stem cell banking, further educational programs and training initiatives are required to enhance their knowledge and promote more positive attitudes.
Keywords Umbilical cord blood banking, stem cell therapy, knowledge, attitude, staff nurses, regenerative medicine.
