“…The result (8.353, pvalue 0.015) indicated a significant correlation between knowledge and attitude of health care providers. Similarly, a positive correlation between knowledge and attitude scores of nurses (r=0.532, p<0.01) was confirmed by Venugopal et al, (2016) among nurses working in labor room (n=56). This finding is incongruence with the recent study (Lye et al, 2015) who found that the association between the undergraduate nursing students knowledge and attitude score of stem cells was poor, which was indicated by the correlation coefficient (r = 0.08).…”
