Özet Amaç: Bu çalışma sağlıkla ilgili bölümlerinde okuyan üniversite öğrencilerinin organ bağışı hakkındaki bilgi ve tutumları belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Kesitsel nitelikte olan bu çalışma 15 Nisan-15 Mayıs 2015 tarihleri arasında yapılmıştır. Basit rastgele örnekleme yöntemiyle seçilmiş ve çalışmaya katılmayı kabul eden 764 öğrenci örnekleme dahil edilmiştir. Araştırmada veriler sosyo-demografik bilgi formu ve araştır-macılar tarafından ilgili literatür incelenerek oluşturulan organ bağışı ile ilgili bilgi ve tutumlarını içeren anket formu ile toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan öğrencilerin yaş ortalaması 20,66±1,73 olup, %43,84'ü erkek, %56,16'sı kadındır. Öğrencilerin sadece %2,4'ünün organlarını bağışladığı görülmüştür. Öğrencilerin %38,7'si organ bağışında bulunmak istediğini ifade ederken, %24'ü organlarını bağışlamak istemediğini ifade etmiştir. Daha önce organ bağışı hakkında bilgi sahibi olanlar grubun %56,5'ini oluşturmaktadır. Sonuç: Öğrencilerin bilgi düzeylerinin iyi olduğu görülmüştür. Bu bulgular doğrultusunda geleceğin sağlık profesyonellerinin organ bağısı konusunda tutumlarını değiştirme konusunda desteklenmesi gerektiği düşünülmektedir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Bilgi-tutum, organ bağışı, organ nakli, öğrenci, Abstract Objective: This study was conducted to determine the knowledge and attitudes about organ donation of college students studying in health-related sections. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted between 15 April -15 May 2015. The sample of the study consisted of 764 students. Students are selected by simple random sampling and the students who agreed to participate were included in the sample. Data of the study were collected using socio-demographic information form and questionnaire about knowledge and attitudes of organ donation prepared by the researchers in line with the literature. Results: The mean age of the students was 20.66 ± 1.73 and then 43.84% of male and 56.16's% of female. The study showed that only 2.4% of the students donated organs. 38.7% of students stated that while seeking an organ donor, 24% of students reported that they did not want to donate their organs. There were seen that 56.5% of students received information about organ donation before. Conclusion: The knowledge level of the students were found to be good. In line with these findings, it is thought that health care professionals of the future should be supported to change their attitudes about organ ties. Key words: Knowledge-attitude, organ donation, organ transplantation, students GirişGünümüzde yaşam süresinin uzaması, tanı ve tedavide ileri teknolojik gelişmelerin olması nedeniyle birçok organ yetersizliği yaşayan kişi sayısı artmaktadır. Organ nakli bu kişilerin yaşam süre-sini ve yaşam kalitesini arttırarak onlara ikinci bir yaşam şansı tanımaktadır.

Introduction: Although the precise number of people who lose their lives due to avalanches each year is unknown, it is reported the figure is more than 150. Additionally, the mortality rate in avalanche incidents might reach up to 70% in the search and rescue personnel depending on factors such as the lack of knowledge, experience, and organisation. Method: This cross-sectional study was conducted to determine the awareness on avalanche and the knowledge level on search and rescue among personnel who would respond to avalanche events and participate in search and rescue activities. The sample for this study consisted of 304 individuals who agreed to participate in the study between June and July 2021. Data were collected using an information form that included socio-demographic characteristics and a questionnaire prepared by the researchers upon the relevant literature review. Findings: It was found that while 65.8% of the participants were female, 34.2% were male. Their mean age was 29.69±8.50 years. The rate of people participating in search and rescue activities in the event of a disaster was 44.1 %. The knowledge level on search and rescue in an avalanche, as well as the knowledge level on response to avalanche survivors, was moderate. Individuals who participated in search and rescue activities in the event of a disaster had a higher knowledge level on search and rescue in avalanche than those who did not. Those who were trained on search and rescue (preparedness, response) in avalanche had higher knowledge levels on search and rescue in avalanches and response to avalanche survivors than those who were not. Conclusion: As a consequence, it was determined that participation in search and rescue activities in disaster increased the knowledge level. Also, the related training elevated the knowledge level on both the search and rescue in avalanche and the response to avalanche survivors.
