Organ transplantation is considered a life-saving treatment for patients with end-stage pathologies. The knowledge and the attitude of nurses can positively influence the willingness of family members and patients to give consent to organ and conse- quently organ donation rates. To understand the critical capacity of nursing students to self- evaluate themselves on information on brain death, donation and transplantation, investi- gating scientific knowledge, predisposition and attitude related to these topics through a survey.
This work is a cross-sectional descriptive study carried out among conveniently selected undergraduate nursing students (n = 578) of three Universities respectively in northern, center and southern of Italy using a questionnaire formulated on the basis of the FAQs prepared by the National Transplant Center (CNT).
Most of students show an adequate level of knowledge and attitudes favorable to organ and tissue donation even if very few students have signed the donor card. Students' knowledge and perceptions are still lacking in specific areas such as legislations (only 6%).
The findings suggest the need for revising the nursing curricula to improve the future nurses' skills, increase the modality to sign the donor card and favor the rate of organ donation.
器官移植被视为终末期疾病患者的一种挽救生命的治疗方法。护士的知识和态度能够对家庭成员和患者同意器官捐赠的意愿产生积极影响，进而影响器官捐赠率。为了解护理专业学生对脑死亡、捐赠和移植信息进行自我评估的关键能力，通过一项调查研究与这些主题相关的科学知识、倾向和态度。
本研究为横断面描述性研究，对意大利北部、中部和南部三所大学方便选取的本科护理专业学生（n = 578）进行调查，使用基于国家移植中心（CNT）编制的常见问题解答制定的问卷。
大多数学生表现出对器官和组织捐赠的足够知识水平和积极态度，尽管只有极少数学生签署了捐赠卡。学生在诸如立法等特定领域的知识和认知仍然不足（仅6%）。
研究结果表明需要修订护理课程，以提高未来护士的技能，增加签署捐赠卡的方式，并提高器官捐赠率。
