Knowledge has an important role in an individual's willingness to donate organs upon death. Knowledge enables clarification of false beliefs, which can increase willingness to consent to organ donation. The purpose of the study was to describe and examine the validity and reliability of the Organ-Tissue Donation and Transplantation Knowledge Scale (ODTKS).
We performed a comprehensive literature review and chose 23 items for the scale according to specialists' recommendations. A total of 6 items were excluded from the scale. Finally, the scale consisted of 17 items and 2 subdimensions.
The study group consisted of 540 (267 [49.4%] male and 273 [50.6%] female) nonmedical staff members; 23.5% were primary school graduates, 47.6% were high school graduates, and 28.9% had university degrees or higher. The difficulty index and discrimination index of the overall scale were 22.41% to 54.07% and 0.23 to 0.46, respectively. Cronbach α coefficient was 0.88 overall. Retest reliability scores were significant (r = 0.87, P < .001).
The total score of the ODTKS was significantly higher among university graduates compared with primary school graduates and among people willing to donate. The ODTKS therefore has adequate reliability and validity for evaluating Turkish adults' knowledge about organ tissue donation and transplantation.
知识在个人死后捐赠器官的意愿中起着重要作用。知识有助于澄清错误观念，从而提高器官捐赠同意意愿。本研究的目的是描述并检验器官组织捐赠与移植知识量表（ODTKS）的有效性和可靠性。
我们进行了全面的文献综述，并根据专家建议为该量表选取了23个项目。该量表共排除了6个项目。最终，该量表由17个项目和2个维度组成。
研究组由540名非医务人员组成（男性267名[49.4%]，女性273名[50.6%]）；23.5%为小学毕业生，47.6%为高中毕业生，28.9%拥有大学学位或更高学历。整个量表的难度指数和区分指数分别为22.41%至54.07%和0.23至0.46。总体Cronbach α系数为0.88。重测信度得分具有显著性（r = 0.87，P <.001）。
与小学毕业生相比，大学毕业生以及愿意捐赠者的ODTKS总分显著更高。因此，ODTKS在评估土耳其成年人对器官组织捐赠与移植的知识方面具有足够的信度和效度。
