To determine the impact of a nursing school's curriculum on student nurses' attitudes towards organ donation and whether specific educational directives could improve these attitudes.
Quasi-experimental.
SAMPLE/SETTING: First-, third-, and fourth-year nursing students at a Canadian University School of Nursing.
A questionnaire was developed to measure student's attitudes towards organ donation and transplantation. The questionnaire was administered to first- and fourth-year students to determine whether 4 years of nursing education changed the attitudes of the students. Third-year students responded to the questionnaire before and after attending a lecture or lecture and small group sessions on organ donation to determine whether instruction could improve attitudes and knowledge.
No difference in attitudes were found between first- and fourth-year nursing students. The introduction of specific education strategies improved the attitudes and knowledge base of third year students. Discussion sessions in addition to lecture were the preferred strategy.
The present curriculum does not significantly impact on nursing students. Given the importance of organ transplantation, nursing curricula should incorporate effective strategies to teach students the role of the nurse in organ donation.
确定一所护理学校的课程对学生护士器官捐赠态度的影响，以及特定的教育指导是否能改善这些态度。
准实验性研究。
样本/背景：加拿大一所大学护理学院的大一、大三和大四护理专业学生。
编制一份问卷，以测量学生对器官捐赠和移植的态度。对大一和大四学生进行问卷调查，以确定四年的护理教育是否改变了学生的态度。大三学生在参加关于器官捐赠的讲座或讲座及小组讨论之前和之后回答问卷，以确定教学是否能改善态度和知识。
大一和大四护理专业学生在态度上没有差异。引入特定的教育策略改善了大三学生的态度和知识基础。除讲座外的讨论环节是首选策略。
当前课程对护理专业学生没有显著影响。鉴于器官移植的重要性，护理课程应纳入有效的策略，教导学生护士在器官捐赠中的角色。
