This document describes a study that evaluated the effectiveness of a planned teaching program on knowledge of stem cell therapy among student nurses. The study used a pre-experimental design with one group of 50 student nurses who completed a pre-test, participated in the planned teaching program, and then completed a post-test. The results showed that the planned teaching program was effective at improving the students' knowledge of stem cell therapy as measured by significantly higher post-test scores. The study provides information that can help nurses gain knowledge about stem cell therapy.

1. A STUDY TO EVALUATE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF
PLANNED TEACHING PROGRAM ON KNOWLEDGE
REGARDING STEM CELL THERAPY AMONG
STUDENT NURSES AT SELECTED NURSING
INSTITUTION, HUBBALLI, KARNATAKA.

2. • Stem cells are autologous cells having a long
term self-renewal ability that regenerates and
differentiates into various cells, tissues, organs
and systems in the human body.
• Stem-cell therapy is the use of stem cells to
treat or prevent a disease or condition..
• Stem cell therapy is an emerging therapeutic
modality and is believed to be one of the
greatest untapped resources currently available
for the prevention and treatment of many
diseases.
NEED FOR THE STUDY
2

3. • As it is a new approach in medical science most
of the patients and their relatives are unaware
about this clinical entity. The nurses also lack
adequate knowledge about this new innovative
approach.
• Nurses’ knowledge on stem cells and their
attitude towards stem cell application in
medical setting are very important as these
could affect the decision on providing
appropriate stem cell-based treatments for
many diseases including cancer and
cardiovascular diseases.
NEED FOR THE STUDY –Contd
3

4. • To assess the level of knowledge of student nurses
regarding stem cell therapy before the planned teaching
program by self administered structured knowledge
questionnaire.
• To assess the level of knowledge of student nurses
regarding stem cell therapy after the planned teaching
program by self administered structured knowledge
questionnaire.
• To assess the effectiveness of planned teaching program
regarding stem cell therapy in terms of gain in
knowledge among the student nurses.
• To find out an association between the pretest
knowledge scores with their selected demographic
variables.
• To find out the relationship between Patient
Satisfaction & Selected Sociodemographic variables.
OBJECTIVES

5. • Effectiveness: It refers to determine the extent
to which the structured teaching program has
achieved the desired effect as measured by the
gain in post test knowledge scores.
• Knowledge: It refers to the correct response to
questions included in the structured knowledge
questionnaire regarding stem cell therapy and
expressed in terms of knowledge scores.
• Stem Cell Therapy: It is the use of stem cells
i.e., Umbilical cord stem cells, embryonic stem
cell & Adult stem cells to treat or prevent a
disease or condition.
OPERATIONAL DEFINITIONS

6. • Planned Teaching Programme : It refers to the
written / verbal material on stem cell therapy
which includes – General information on stem
cells, characteristics of stem cells, types of stem
cells, sources of stem cells, potential uses of
stem cells, definition of stem cell therapy,
advantages & disadvantage of stem cell therapy,
procedure of stem therapy, Complications of
stem cell therapy, centers of stem cell therapy in
India, legal implications & nurses role in stem
cell therapy and is developed by the investigator
and validated by the experts in the field of
Nursing & Medicine.

7. • Student Nurses: It refers to the final year
Basic B.Sc Nursing & GNM students of a
selected Nursing Institutions.
• Socio-Demographic Variables: It refers to age,
gender, religion, type of family, Professional
education, habitat & source of information
regarding stem cell therapy.
• Selected Nursing Institution: It refers to KLES
Institute of Nursing Sciences, Hubballi.

OPERATIONAL DEFINITIONS - contd

8. • H1 : The mean post test knowledge scores of the
student nurses receiving planned teaching
program on knowledge regarding stem cell
therapy will be significantly higher than the
mean pre-test knowledge scores at 0.05 level of
Significance.
• H2 : There will be a statistical association
between pre-test knowledge scores and selected
socio demographic variables at 0.05 level of
significance.
HYPOTHESES

9. • Student Nurses have some basic knowledge
regarding stem cell therapy.
• Planned Teaching program is effective strategy
to impart knowledge regarding stem cell
therapy.
• Socio-Demographic variables of the student
Nurses have influence on knowledge regarding
stem cell therapy.
• The result of the study may help the student
nurses to know more about the stem cell
therapy which will help them to apply in the
future endeavors.
