Abstract
This study aimed to assess the knowledge and attitudes towards cord
blood banking among antenatal mothers in selected hospitals in India. Utilizing
a descriptive cross-sectional design, data was collected through a structured
questionnaire from [sample size, 400] antenatal mothers. The findings revealed
moderate knowledge levels and generally positive attitudes towards cord blood
banking, although significant knowledge deficits were identified regarding
specific treatable conditions and financial considerations. Educational status
and information sources significantly influenced knowledge, and a positive
correlation was observed between knowledge and attitude. These results
highlight the need for targeted educational initiatives to improve
understanding and facilitate informed decision-making among expectant parents.
Future research should focus on developing and evaluating effective educational
programs and exploring factors influencing the choice between public and
private cord blood banking to enhance access and awareness in India.
