The need for the study arises after knowing those antenatal mothers were unaware and having inadequate knowledge regarding cord blood collection for stem cell therapy. The above facts created an interest to conduct a structured teaching programme to assess its effectiveness on knowledge and attitude of antenatal mother on cord blood collection for stem cell therapy. The pretest, the mean score of knowledge is 13.2 mean % is 50.7, & attitude is 31.58, mean % 63.16, the post test the mean score of knowledge is 18.1, mean % is 69.65. Attitude 38.05, mean % 76.1.
