Abstract
Human milk banking has been serving the golden purpose of reaching out to the sick or needed babies by supplying the breast milk. This study was
conducted aiming at student nurses understanding and attitude towards human milk banking. A cross sectional descriptive study design was
adopted to assess the knowledge of 126 nal year GNM and BSc nursing students selected by convenient sampling and the the information required
were collected using socio-demographic sheet; knowledge ascertained by self- structured questionnaire and attitude by Likert scale. Study ndings
revealed that majority of nursing students 61.10% had average, 36.50% poor and only 2.40% good knowledge regarding human milk banking
whereas 55.6% had satisfactory and 44.4% good attitude towards the human milk banking. There was a signicant correlation found between the
nursing students' knowledge and attitude towards human milk banking (p1.68008e-10). There's need for further improvement in knowledge of
nursing students by training and hands on experience in the functioning of human milk banking.
