The number of organs available for transplantation in the United States is insufficient, and the donor rate in New Jersey is particularly low.
To explore reasons nurses do or do not refer organ donors and to identify factors that contribute to differences in referral rates in New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
Registered nurses (N = 976) in 57 nongovernmental acute care hospitals, primarily in emergency departments and intensive care units, completed a questionnaire that focused on their knowledge and participation in the organ procurement process.
Two-thirds of the subjects said they had participated in organ procurement. Pennsylvania nurses had a significantly higher involvement rate than New Jersey nurses. Pennsylvania nurses were also slightly more knowledgeable about the process. A higher proportion of nurses in both states who attended continuing education programs participated.
Nurses need more inservice education regarding policies and procedures for organ donation.
美国可用于移植的器官数量不足，新泽西州的捐赠率尤其低。
探讨护士转诊或不转诊器官捐赠者的原因，并确定导致新泽西州和宾夕法尼亚州转诊率差异的因素。
57家非政府急症护理医院（主要是急诊科和重症监护室）的976名注册护士完成了一份问卷，该问卷聚焦于他们对器官获取过程的了解和参与情况。
三分之二的受试者表示他们参与过器官获取。宾夕法尼亚州的护士参与率明显高于新泽西州的护士。宾夕法尼亚州的护士对该过程的了解也略多一些。两个州参加继续教育项目的护士参与比例更高。
护士需要接受更多关于器官捐赠政策和程序的在职教育。
