As the national demand for donated organs continues to rise, the rate of registered donors within the United States has remained stagnant, creating a shortage of viable, transferrable organs. Lack of registered donors can be partially attributed to misconceptions about organ donation, which has led to a population less willing to register as organ donors. The utilization of educational interventions can begin to address common misconceptions and change attitudes to favor organ donation. A quantitative pretest, posttest survey design was utilized in order to assess effectiveness of an educational intervention within the college-aged population. Results suggest that educational interventions are effective in creating positive attitudes about organ donation in college-aged students.
随着国家对捐献器官的需求不断增加，美国的注册捐献者人数却一直停滞不前，导致可移植器官短缺。缺乏注册捐献者的部分原因是人们对器官捐献存在误解，这导致人们不太愿意注册成为器官捐献者。教育干预措施的使用可以开始解决常见的误解，改变人们对器官捐献的态度。为了评估在大学生群体中教育干预的效果，采用了预测试-后测试的定量调查设计。结果表明，教育干预措施在培养大学生对器官捐献的积极态度方面是有效的。
