Australia's rate of organ donation, which has shown a continuing downward trend, is among the lowest in the developed world. Research has demonstrated that nurses' attitudes and behaviors are important functions in organ donation, particularly retrieval. This study investigated the attitudes and knowledge levels about organ donation of paediatric nurses in a large metropolitan children's hospital and nurses in two rural hospitals. The results highlight the role that critical care nurses and advanced practice nurses need to play in improving levels of organ donation.
澳大利亚的器官捐赠率呈持续下降趋势，在发达国家中处于最低水平。研究表明，护士的态度和行为在器官捐赠中，尤其是器官获取方面，起着重要作用。本研究调查了一家大型都市儿童医院的儿科护士以及两家乡村医院护士对器官捐赠的态度和知识水平。结果凸显了重症护理护士和高级执业护士在提高器官捐赠水平方面需要发挥的作用。
