Aim: This study aimed to determine the attitudes of nursing students regarding organ donation and affecting factors. Methods: This descriptive study comprised a total of 755 nursing students who studied at a university. The total study sample comprised 607 students who agreed to participate. The data were obtained using the personal information and the "Organ Donation Attitude Scale." Data collection tools were filled out by students in classrooms. Data were obtained by number, percentage, average, non-parametric analyses, and logistic regression analysis. Results: The average age of the students who participated in the study was 20.80±1.68. The positive attitude score of the students regarding organ donation was found to be 95.13±1.88 and the negative attitude score was found to be 59.31±1.94. According to the logistic regression analysis performed, the student's attitude toward organ donation increased 6.07 times higher than negative ones with low negative attitudes OR: 6.07: (95% CI:3.58-10.30); 3.60 times by the family with organ donation OR: 3.60: (95% CI:1.22-10.58); 2.31 times higher than those with high positive attitudes OR: 2.31: (95% CI:1.16-4.60); 1.87 times by female gender OR: 1.87: (95% CI:1.07-3.27); 0.38 times by trust in knowledge of healthcare workers OR: 0.38: (95% CI:0.22-0.68); and 0.21 times by knowledge of organ donation OR: 0.21: (95% CI: 0.12-0.38). Conclusion: The current study found that students had a higher positive attitude towards organ donation, but very few were determined to donate organs. It was determined that the wish to donate organs had the most effect on the attitude toward organ donation.

Bu çalışmada femur kırığı nedeniyle total kalça protezi takılan yaşlı bir kadının Roper Logan Tierney Günlük Yaşam Aktiviteleri Modeline göre evde bakım gereksinimlerinin değerlendirilmesi ve bu gereksinimlere yönelik uygun girişimlerin planlanması amaçlandı. Bu çalışma bir olgu sunumudur. Total kalça protezi ameliyatı sonrası günlük yaşam aktivitelerinde yarı bağımlı olan birey yalnız yaşamakta ve evde bakım gereksinimlerini karşılayamamaktadır. Yapılan değerlendirmede bireye, günlük yaşam aktivitelerini yerine getirmede yetersizlik, konstipasyon, bilgi eksikliği, akut ağrı, uyku örüntüsünde bozulma, aktivite intoleransı, beden gereksiniminden az beslenme, sosyal izolasyon, beden imajında bozulma, rol performansında değişim, düşme ve venöz tromboemboli riski hemşirelik tanıları konuldu ve bu tanılara yönelik hemşirelik girişimleri uygulandı. Olgudan elde edilen veriler doğrultusunda Roper Logan Tierney Günlük Yaşam Aktiviteleri Modeli'nin günlük yaşam aktivitelerinde zorlanan yaşlı bireyin ameliyat sonrası evde bakım gereksinimlerinin belirlenmesi ve karşılanmasında yararlı bir model olduğu belirlendi.
