Abstract


What could be more precious than gifting an unborn child to fight against various diseases for the rest of his/her life? Stem cells and cord blood banking is an emerging trend, where most part of this country is blind to. The main objective of this study was to assess effectiveness of video assisted teaching programme on knowledge regarding stem cells and cord blood banking among pregnant women. Pre-experimental, one group pre-test post-test research design was adopted. A total of 60 sample were selected using non-probability purposive sampling technique. The tool used for the study comprises of two sections. Section A-Socio-demographic variables such as age, parity, religion, occupation, area of living, Type of family, family monthly income, education. Section B- comprises of structured questionnaire to assess the knowledge regarding stem cells and cord blood banking which includes 40 questions. The study findings reveled that pre- test score of the majority of pregnant women had average knowledge score were 61.66% and 36.66% had good knowledge score, post-test majority 90% sample were excellent, 10% sample were good knowledge. Pre-test mean score were 19.35 and SD was3.64 the post-test were 34.75 and SD was 2.87. The t-value 2.02 which is highly significant at & 0.05 which proves the effectiveness of the video assisted teaching programme.
