Considering the importance of the organ donation and the important role of nurses in increasing the number of organ donations, the present study aimed to determine the knowledge and attitudes of nurses in Sanandaj hospitals toward organ donation. Materials & Methods: This study was descriptive-analytic (cross-sectional). 250 nurses working in hospitals in Sanandaj city were selected by stratified sampling method in 2017 and completed the questionnaire on knowledge and attitude towards organ donation. Data were analyzed by SPSS software version 20, using independent t-test and ANOVA. Results: The results showed that the mean score of knowledge was 13/2±04/ 57 and the mean score of attitude was 44.7±82.75 and 207 (82.2%) did not have a donation card, while 146 nurses (58.4%) tended to receive a donation card. The mean score of nurses' knowledge about donation was 13.2±26/49 and the mean score of their attitude was 13.2±07. 91. There was also a significant correlation between attitude and level of education (p=0/045). Conclusion: According to the results, the knowledge and attitude of the majority of nurses were moderate and most of them did not have a donation card. Considering the importance of this effective group in increasing the culture of the community toward organ donation, education and preparing appropriate background for receiving, and increasing knowledge and attitudes toward organ donation for the nurses is necessary.

Background: The benefit of liver transplantation is not only to increase the patient’s lifetime but also for persistent relief of pain and anxiety. Shortage of the organ is the main hindrance of transplantation around the world, leading authorities to pass a general law for the reasonable distribution of organs and come up with the Model for End-Stage Liver Disease (MELD) system which scores the severity of liver disease and risk of mortality in order to detect the mechanism of allocation. Objective: This study aims to assess medical students’ perception of the liver transplant and allocation system.Methods: A cross-sectional survey was carried out among 402 medical students at King Abdulaziz University in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.Results: The majority of the medical students (84.4%) believed that a successful liver transplant improves both lifetime and quality of life. Most of the students also saw that the minimum survival rate should be five years after transplantation and that the patient should recover to be at least ambulatory, even if restricted by strenuous physical activity. When asked whether urgency or prospect of success defined a successful transplant, most of the students who chose urgency were preclinical (50.7%), while the prospect of success was the dominant answer chosen by students in their clinical years of study (66.1%).Conclusion: The criteria determining the success of a liver transplant include a gain in both lifetime and quality of life. The majority of respondents wanted the capacity to benefit to be considered in the liver allocation system.

“…Sağlık profesyonellerinin organ bağışına karşı tutumları, nakil bekleyen alıcıların ve bağış yapan ailenin tutumunu, beyin ölümü gerçekleşmiş hastaya yaklaşımı ve ailenin karar verme sürecini önemli düzeyde etkilemektedir. (8) Hemşireler beyin ölümü sonrası organ bağışına duyulan ihtiyacı algıladığında ve bağış süreci konusunda olumlu tutuma sahip olduğunda organ bağış sürecini kolaylaştırabilmektedir. Bu nedenle hassas, duyarlı, destekleyici hemşirelik bakımı ile organ bağışında bulunma oranının artacağı düşünülmektedir.…”

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.
