Transplant education has been historically unstructured and inconsistent. The purpose of this study was to measure nursing students' knowledge and attitudes toward organ donation, allocation, and preparation for practice using a modified version of the Organ Donation Attitude Questionnaire II-Student Version. Scores were low, particularly regarding brain death and organ allocation. Preparedness for practice was related to knowledge of brain death (z = 2.05, p = .04); knowledge (t = 2.24, p = .03) and attitude (t = 7.55, p < .0001) were related to signing a driver's license. Results support including organ donation and transplant education in nursing curricula.
移植教育在历史上一直缺乏系统性且不一致。本研究的目的是使用经过修改的《器官捐赠态度问卷II-学生版》来衡量护理专业学生对器官捐赠、分配以及实践准备的知识和态度。得分较低，尤其是在脑死亡和器官分配方面。实践准备与脑死亡知识相关（z = 2.05，p = .04）；知识（t = 2.24，p = .03）和态度（t = 7.55，p < .0001）与签署驾驶执照相关。研究结果支持在护理课程中纳入器官捐赠和移植教育。
