AIM
To assess the knowledge and willingness of Singapore adults towards corneal donation.
METHODS
The study population consists of a cluster random sample of the population living in Bedok North (an area in the eastern part of Singapore). The study population comprised residents aged 21-65 years living in 675 randomly sampled housing units. The participation rate was 65.9% (544/825). All participants were interviewed face to face with a questionnaire formulated according to the modified Horton and Horton model. Knowledge, values, attitudes, and spiritual beliefs of participants were assessed to evaluate their willingness to donate their corneas.
RESULTS
67.0% of participants were willing to donate their corneas. Ethnicity (Chinese) and religion (Christians, Hindus, or those with no religion) were associated with increased willingness to donate corneas. Greater knowledge and increased altruistic values were also associated with increased willingness to donate corneas.
CONCLUSION
A proportion of participants were willing to donate their corneas. Awareness of corneal donation is high but specific knowledge should be further increased among adults.
目的
评估新加坡成年人对角膜捐赠的认知和意愿。
方法
研究人群为居住在勿洛北（新加坡东部一个地区）的人群的整群随机样本。研究人群包括居住在675个随机抽样住房单元中的21至65岁居民。参与率为65.9%（544/825）。所有参与者均通过根据改良的霍顿和霍顿模型制定的问卷进行面对面访谈。评估参与者的知识、价值观、态度和精神信仰，以评估他们捐赠角膜的意愿。
结果
67.0%的参与者愿意捐赠角膜。种族（华人）和宗教（基督徒、印度教徒或无宗教信仰者）与捐赠角膜意愿的增加有关。更多的知识和更高的利他价值观也与捐赠角膜意愿的增加有关。
结论
一部分参与者愿意捐赠角膜。角膜捐赠的知晓率较高，但成年人的具体知识仍需进一步提高。
