Aim of the study: to find out the effect of structured teaching module (STM) on
Umbilical cord blood banking (UCBB) among staff nurses serving at selected
tertiary care hospital, Maharashtra. To assess the knowledge of Staff nurses on
umbilical cord blood banking before intervention 2. To assess the knowledge of
staff nurses on umbilical cord blood banking after intervention 3. To find out
the association between post-test knowledge scores on umbilical cord blood
banking and selected demographic variables.
Methodology: A pre-experimental with one pretest and post group design used for the
study. It was conducted over 110 staff nurses by purposive sampling technique.
Results: To collect data on demographic variables & structured interview
schedule (SIS) was used among staff nurses’ group before and after an
intervention. After a pre-test, structured teaching module was used to teach on
umbilical cord blood banking among 110 staff nurses of experimental group.
However, after one week, the post test was conducted among staff nurses to
assess the effect of structured teaching module on umbilical cord blood
banking. From the findings, it was observed that whereas no Staff nurse had
good and very good level of knowledge prior to the intervention, the percentage
of staff nurse with very good knowledge increased to 37.7% after the intervention
on UCBB. Similarly, after intervention, the number of staff nurses with good
level of knowledge rose up to 43 (42.1%%) from 0 (0%). However, the staff
nurses with average knowledge rose to 23.8% from 12.7%. Further, it is seen
that after intervention none of the staff nurses had poor and very poor
knowledge. There was about 40.2% improvement in knowledge among staff nurses
after UCBB. There was a significant difference (p0.05) between post-test
knowledge scores and selected demographic variables like Age in years,
Education, residence area of staff nurses, religion, source of information and
source of knowledge. findings of study revealed that the STM on UCBB was
effective among staff nurse serving at tertiary care hospital.
