“…Maternity staff members involved in perinatal care in this study were found to be adequately informed about UCB banking; a great majority of them knew conditions potentially treatable with UCB and knew the differences between private and public banks. These results are more encouraging than the results from a similar research conducted by Walker and colleagues, in which 49% of obstetricians indicated they had insufficient knowledge about UCB donation to effectively answer patients' questions (Walker et al, 2012). However, almost two-thirds of maternity staff members would like additional information about this topic and it is also important for family doctors to have knowledge about UCB as they can communicate this information to prospective parents.…”

“…Several participants emphasized the importance of buy‐in, whether they were referring to the willingness of prenatal care providers and labor and delivery staff to inform laboring women about donation or for physicians to take the time—for which they are not always reimbursed—to do a collection that meets volume criteria for banking. Staff that offer routine prenatal care in obstetricians' offices and labor and delivery staff in hospitals may feel they have too much to accomplish without the additional effort cord blood banking requires and may be reluctant to take the time to inform women about donation, but their efforts are critical 20,30 . As one participant noted:…”

BACKGROUND Cord blood has moved rapidly from an experimental stem cell source to an accepted and important source of hematopoietic stem cells. There has been no comprehensive assessment of US public cord blood banking practices since the Institute of Medicine study in 2005. STUDY DESIGN AND METHODS Of 34 US public cord blood banks identified, 16 participated in our qualitative survey of public cord blood banking practices. Participants took part in in-depth telephone interviews in which they were asked structured and open-ended questions regarding recruitment, donation, and the informed consent process at these banks. RESULTS 13 of 16 participants reported a variably high percentage of women who consented to public cord blood donation. 15 banks offered donor registration at the time of hospital admission for labor and delivery. 7 obtained full informed consent and medical history during early labor and 8 conducted some form of phased consent and/or phased medical screening and history. 9 participants identified initial selection of the collection site location as the chief mode by which they recruited minority donors. CONCLUSION Since 2005, more public banks offer cord blood donor registration at the time of admission for labor and delivery. That, and the targeted location of cord blood collection sites, are the main methods used to increase access to donation and HLA diversity of banked units. Currently, the ability to collect and process donations, rather than donor willingness, is the major barrier to public cord blood banking.

“…For each subject, a maximum score of 58 could be calculated. The knowledge level score was categorized into 3 levels indicated by Poor knowledge (0-19), Moderate knowledge (20)(21)(22)(23)(24)(25)(26)(27)(28)(29)(30)(31)(32)(33)(34)(35)(36)(37)(38) and Good knowledge (39-58). Thus, the higher the score is the higher level of knowledge among health providers.…”

Background: Health care providers as a trusted source of information for most patients should be able to provide counseling services to patients on the new concept of stem cells utilization, benefits and its practice implications.Objective: this study aims to assess the knowledge and attitude of health care providers in Qassim region regarding stem cells.Methods: Self-administered tools were utilized among 250 health care providers were chosen from five major hospitals in Qassim, including doctors, nurses, and other health care providers such as pharmacists, dietaries and administrative staff.Results: The participants were female,<30 years in age, had practiced for <10 years and nurses. About 56% of respondents had a moderate knowledge regarding stem cells, and only 31.2 % had good knowledge. About three quarters 191 (76.4%) of the participants exhibited positive attitude towards stem cells use. A Pearson’s correlation between knowledge and attitude scores was statistically significant. Conclusion: Data from the present study revealed the moderate levels of knowledge and positive attitude toward stem cells and its application among health care providers in Qassim. Therefore, this study suggests that educational programs on stem cells should be implemented to improve stem cells knowledge and encourage a more positive attitude.
