Keywords:
Pregnant woman, Knowledge, Nursing intervention program, Umbilical cord stem cell bankingAbstract
The procedure of collecting and storing umbilical cord blood in the days following a baby's birth is known as umbilical cord blood banking. It contains potent stem cells, as well as hematopoietic cells. Aim: To determine the effect of the nursing intervention program on pregnant woman's knowledge about umbilical cord stem cell banking. Design: A quasi-experimental research design was used to achieve the study's aim. Setting: The study was applied in the Antenatal Outpatient Clinic at Minia University Hospital. Subjects: A total of 100 pregnant women were selected from previous settings based on non-probability convenience sampling. Two tools were used: (1) a structured interview questionnaire; which included two parts (1) personal data, (2) obstetric history, and (2) a knowledge assessment questionnaire. Results: The study's findings demonstrated that post-nursing intervention program knowledge of umbilical cord stem cell collecting and banking was statistically significantly higher than pre-nursing intervention program knowledge among the studied pregnant woman. Conclusion: The findings of the study concluded that the nursing intervention program was effective in improving pregnant woman's knowledge regarding umbilical cord stem cell banking.
