Methods: This study was planned to carry out the study as descriptive and cross-sectional type in Corum/Turkey. No sample selection was made in the study (N=345). Students visiting the university between the dates (15.11.2014-15.01.2015) and wanted to participate as volunteers (n=313) have constituted the sample of the study. Prior to starting the study, the permissions have been obtained. For the statistical analyze during the assessment of obtained findings from the study, the SPSS 15.0 program was used. Significance was evaluated in p<0.05 level. Findings: Analyzing the relationship between students' social, educational and religious perception of organ donation and their thoughts about organ donation "There should be impeding conditions for organ donation in terms of religion." (p<0.01), and the thoughts of students regarding organ donation there is a statistically significant relationship. Conclusion: Young people have an insufficient perception of organ donation in terms of social and educational aspects, whereas they have a sufficient religious perception. Prejudices that cause negative thoughts should be eliminated. Systematic organizations regarding organ transplantation and donation should be carried out and it should be provided that the students take responsibility in this field.
