Nurses play an effective role in the identification of donors and in the families' decision-making processes related to organ donation. It is recommended that nursing students be offered specific education regarding organ donation and transplantation. The aim of this study was to examine the effects of peer education on attitudes toward organ donation and the rate of attaining a donor card in undergraduate nursing students.
This study was a quasi-experimental trial in a single group conducted between February 2016 and October 2016. Data were collected in 3 stages (pretest, posttest 1, and posttest 2) by using the Organ Donation Attitudes Scale. Data analysis was made with descriptive statistics, repeated measures analysis of variance, and the McNemar test.
The mean age of the participants was 21.63 ± 1.19 years. There was no statistically significant difference in students' attitudes toward organ donation after peer education (P > .05). The difference in the number of students having a donor card after peer education was highly significant (P < .05).
These study results showed that peer training did not positively change nursing students' attitudes toward organ donation but encouraged them to acquire a donor card and increased their knowledge of the organ donation system.
护士在识别器官捐赠者以及与器官捐赠相关的家庭决策过程中发挥着有效作用。建议为护理专业学生提供有关器官捐赠和移植的专项教育。本研究的目的是检验同伴教育对本科护理专业学生器官捐赠态度及获得捐赠卡比例的影响。
本研究为2016年2月至2016年10月期间进行的单组类实验性试验。使用器官捐赠态度量表在三个阶段（预测试、后测1和后测2）收集数据。采用描述性统计、重复测量方差分析和McNemar检验进行数据分析。
参与者的平均年龄为21.63±1.19岁。同伴教育后学生对器官捐赠的态度无统计学显著差异（P>.05）。同伴教育后拥有捐赠卡的学生人数差异极显著（P<.05）。
这些研究结果表明，同伴培训并未积极改变护理专业学生对器官捐赠的态度，但鼓励他们获取捐赠卡并增加了他们对器官捐赠系统的了解。
