Abstract


Hypothesis: Mean post test knowledge score is different than mean pre test knowledge score of
antenatal women regarding the collection of cord blood and stem cell at 0.05 level of signicance.
Introduction: Awareness programmes are conducted mainly to raise knowledge of the people. Knowledge is power and a
weapon to tackle an adverse situation and promote health in the desirable direction. This may be true in cord blood and stem
cell collection where practice can be more to do better for the society.
Objectives: This study was conducted to assess the effect of awareness programme on knowledge regarding collection of cord
blood and stem cell among antenatal women.
Materials and methods: Thirty ve antenatal women were selected for awareness programme. It was passed through pre test
and post test design with systematic random sampling technique.
Results: The result revealed that the mean post test knowledge score (13.9) was signicantly higher than mean pretest
knowledge score (7.54). The computed “t value” 20 (“t”=2.032 at df = 34 at 0.05 level of signicance) was statistically signicant.
There was signicant association between the knowledge of mothers and education at 0.05 level of signicance.
Conclusion: Awareness programme was effective.
