Do New Drivers Equal New Donors? An Examination of Factors Influencing Organ Donation Attitudes and Behaviors in Adolescents

2005

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Adolescent and parent organ donation attitudes, knowledge, communications, and donor card signing rates were assessed. Parent-adolescent dyads (N = 137) were recruited at a Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Using discriminant analysis, attitude, knowledge, and communication variables adequately classified adolescent donor status. Overall, adolescent positive attitude toward donation was the most powerful variable discriminating between donors and nondonors. Examining only participants who had discussed donation with parents, the nature of parent-adolescent discussions about organ donation became the most important variable in donor classification. Adolescent donors reported significantly more positive and less negative attitudes, had parents with more positive and less negative attitudes, and had engaged in more frequent and more positive communications with parents about organ donation.

Adequate knowledge and personal attitudes towards DNA-testing are major determinants of optimal utilization of genetic testing. This study aims to (1) assess the genetic knowledge and attitude towards genetic testing of patients with asthma, diabetes mellitus type II and cardiovascular diseases, (2) show that factual knowledge mainly relates to associations between genes and diseases, less is known on associations between genes, chromosomes, cells and body. The perceived knowledge on DNA-testing has not increased since 2002. The attitude towards genetic testing also appeared to be rather consistent. Less perceived medical genetic knowledge and more perceived social genetic knowledge were found predictive for a more reserved attitude towards genetic testing. In conclusion, advanced developments in the field of genetics are not accompanied by increased knowledge of patients with common multi-factorial diseases. The finding that more perceived social genetic knowledge results in more reluctance can be considered an indicator for the necessity of social debates on genetic testing.

2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

The aim of the study is to determine how Islamic belief and spiritual well-being affect the attitudes of individuals towards organ donation. The study was designed as a descriptive-relational study and included the participation of 402 adults in the eastern Mediterranean region of Turkey. For data collection, a personal information form, the Organ Donation Attitude Scale, and the Spiritual Well-being Scale were used. A statistically significant relationship was observed between the acceptance of organ donation according to Islamic beliefs and organ donation attitude. A negative relationship was found between organ donation attitude and the scores on the anomie sub-dimension of the Spiritual Well-being Scale, while a positive relationship was found between organ donation attitude and the scores on the transcendence and harmony with nature sub-dimensions. It was concluded from the results that Islamic belief and spiritual well-being have an effect on the organ donation attitudes of individuals.
