“…Similarly, Walker et al, (2012) reported that obstetricians indicated a desire for more information on cord blood banking. Mohammed and El Sayed (2015) revealed that 98.8 % (n = 52) of nurses had not attended stem cells training courses, which is in compliance with our findings; where 76.0% of our participants had never attended training courses on stem cells. An overall moderate knowledge about the stem cells in the study was noted among more than half 140 (56%) of the participants.…”

“…An overall moderate knowledge about the stem cells in the study was noted among more than half 140 (56%) of the participants. In contrast, two other studies concerning maternity nurses reported that most maternity nurses had a low knowledge levels of stem cells and its uses Mohammed and El Sayed, 2015). In addition to the finding of recent study (Khalil and Sharshor, 2016) that assessed the Nurses' Knowledge about stem cells in paediatric Intensive Care Unit and paediatric Hematology Department in Tanta, Egypt and also reported that Nurses' Knowledge about stem cells is inadequate in 69 % of participants.…”

Thus, the Attitude score calculated was categorized into 3 levels: Do not approve (16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26), Unsure (27-37) and approve (38-48). To find out the correlation between knowledge and attitude Pearson's correlation was applied and for statistical significance, p-value <0.05 were considered.…”

BackgroundCollection and storage of an infant’s cord blood at birth is an option available to many new parents. Antenatal health care providers have an important role in providing non-biased and evidence based information to expectant parents about cord blood and tissue banking options. The aim of this paper was to identify and review studies of health care professionals’ knowledge, attitudes and practices concerning cord blood banking and the sources by which healthcare professionals obtained their information on this topic.MethodsAn integrative review was conducted using several electronic databases to identify papers on health care professionals’ knowledge, attitudes and practices pertaining to cord blood banking. The CASP tool was used to determine validity and quality of the studies included in the review.ResultsThe search of the international literature identified nine papers which met review inclusion criteria. The literature review identified that there was little focus placed on antenatal health care professionals’ knowledge of cord blood banking options despite these health care professionals being identified by expectant parents as their preferred, key source of information.ConclusionLimited high quality studies have investigated what health care professionals know and communicate to expectant parents regarding cord blood banking. Further research should focus on understanding the knowledge, attitudes and practices of healthcare professionals and how they communicate with expectant parents about this issue. In addition, how this knowledge influences professional practice around birth is also important, as this may positively or negatively impact the information that is provided to expectant parents.

Background The use of stem cells (SCs) has led the way into a new era of therapeutics known as regenerative medicine. Their renewal property offers exciting possibilities in reversing tissue damage caused by metabolic and degenerative changes. Research should be conducted increasingly to explore the possibilities of SC utilization in Pakistan. Objectives To assess the level of knowledge, perception, and attitude of medical students regarding stem cell research (SCR) and its application, to obtain a better insight into the future of stem cell therapy in Pakistan as it is a rapidly emerging field in medicine. Materials and Methods This cross-sectional study was carried out using a self-administered questionnaire filled by 206 medical students from different medical colleges in Pakistan. A convenience sampling method was used. Knowledge and attitude scores were calculated based on answers to 28 well-structured questions. Data was analyzed using SPSS. Results The mean values of the answers showed that 68.9% (n=142) of the students had good knowledge and 31.1% (n=64) had poor knowledge of stem cells. Whereas, 56.8% (n=117) expressed positive attitude and 43.2% (n=89) expressed negative attitude towards SCR. Independent t-test applied on knowledge and attitude scores showed that the mean knowledge score of people with a positive attitude is higher i.e. 21.25 as compared to the mean knowledge score of people with negative attitude i.e. 19.21. And the difference of the means is significant at p=0.007. Thus, the attitude of students was observed to be significantly dependent on their knowledge about SCR. Conclusion The results show that medical students have baseline knowledge about SC therapy and a positive attitude towards it. Seminars, workshops should be conducted and this topic should be added to their syllabus so that they obtain proper information about SCR and encourage further research.
