The aim of the present study was to determine knowledge levels and attitudes about organ donation and transplantation among university students.
This descriptive study was performed with third-grade students of medicine, pharmacy, and law at a university. Samples weren't selected in the study and it was executed with 145 students who had agreed to participate in the study. The data was collected using a questionnaire of 19 questions. Descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data.
71.7% of students had positive views about transplantation of their own organs to a suitable recipient, with half of them giving being useful to others as a reason. Among students who had negative views about organ donation, the most important reason given was that it would mean a loss of bodily integrity. 44.1% of participants had positive views about transplantation of their relatives' organs to another person after death. 51.7% of participants had positive views about transplantation of the organs of a homeless person to another person after death.
Students had generally positive views about organ donation. However; organ transplantation and donation should be included in the students' educational programs in order to increase positive attitudes and organ donations, and transform attitudes into behaviors.
本研究的目的是确定大学生对器官捐赠和移植的知识水平及态度。
本描述性研究在一所大学对医学、药学和法学专业的三年级学生进行。研究未进行样本选择，对145名同意参与研究的学生开展研究。使用一份包含19个问题的问卷收集数据。采用描述性统计分析数据。
71.7%的学生对将自己的器官移植给合适的接受者持积极态度，其中一半人将对他人有用作为原因。在对器官捐赠持消极态度的学生中，给出的最重要原因是这将意味着身体完整性的丧失。44.1%的参与者对亲属死后将其器官移植给他人持积极态度。51.7%的参与者对无家可归者死后将其器官移植给他人持积极态度。
学生对器官捐赠总体上持积极态度。然而，为了增强积极态度和器官捐赠行为，并将态度转变为行动，器官移植和捐赠应纳入学生的教育课程。
