Also, only 22% of the studied students had a positive attitude before intervention, which changed to 97% and 89% respectively at immediately after and three months later of intervention. In addition, all students(100%) had poor practices toward the collection of cord blood at pretest which changed to 0% and 3.6% at the post and follow up test with a highly statistically significant improvements (p <0.001) which justify the research hypothesis of intervention. Conclusion: Educational intervention significantly get out improvements in pre, post-tests and after three months for students' knowledge, attitudes and practices regarding umbilical cord blood collection for stem cells.
