“…However, knowing the attitude toward donation and transplant promoted by participants’ own religion can influence individual attitudes. In some included studies conducted in Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Iran, about 30% of medical students ignored whether religion was in favor of donation and transplant ( 15 , 41 , 60 ). By contrast, in countries with high predisposition rates such as Spain, only 12% of medical students did not know their religion’s posture on donation and transplant ( 52 ).…”

Attitude toward organ donation mobilizes donation behavior and makes transplant surgery possible. As future health professionals, medical students will be a relevant generating opinion group and will have an important role in the organ requesting process. The goals of this meta-analysis were to obtain polled rates of medical students who are in favor, against, or indecisive toward cadaveric organ donation in the studies conducted around the world, and to explore sociocultural variables influencing the willingness to donate. Electronic search and revision of references from previous literature allowed us to locate 57 studies fulfilling the inclusion criteria. Data extraction and risk of bias assessment were performed by two independent investigators. Pooled estimations were computed assuming a random-effects model. Despite the fact that willingness to donate was elevated in medical students, estimated rates in studies from different geographical areas and sociocultural backgrounds exhibited significant differences. The age and the grade of the students also influenced the rate of students in favor. Donation campaigns should take into account cultural factors, especially in countries where certain beliefs and values could hamper organ donation. Also, knowledge and skills related to organ donation and transplant should be acquired early in the medical curriculum when a negative attitude is less resistant to change.

“…Tumin et al [ 21 ] noted that medical students whose religion allows organ transplant expressed favourable opinions on organ donation. The studies conducted in Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Iran showed that some students ignored the fact of whether their religion allows organ donation and transplantation [ 18 , 22 ]. In turn, since the introduction of the Islamic concept of allowing organ donation to a wider group of recipients, a marked increase in the willingness indicator has been observed [ 23 ].…”

(1) The aim of the present study was to assess the effect of sociodemographic (age, sex, religion, place of residence) and university-related factors (university, year of studies) on the attitudes of students towards organ donation and transplantation. (2) Methods: The study was conducted on 1530 students from the Faculty of Medicine from three medical universities in Poland. The measurement tool was a validated questionnaire of attitude towards organ donation and transplantation (PCID-DTO RIOS: A questionnaire designed by the International Collaborative Organ Donation project about organ transplantation and donation). (3) Results: The completion rate was 88.10% (n = 1348). The vast majority declared a willingness to donate their organs in the future (86.60%), and 31.71% had an organ donation card. It was found that place of residence (p = 0.018) and religion (p = 0.003) had a significant effect on the attitude towards transplantation. Age, sex, and year of the study were not found to have a statistically significant effect on the decision. (4) Conclusions: The present study demonstrates that medical students show a favourable attitude towards transplantation in the first year of their study, and their knowledge and positive tendencies increase in the final years of medical education.

“…Considering that knowledge about the family's preferences in the field of organ donation aspires to be the most important factor responsible for donation rates increase(Koźlik et al, 2014), it is foremost important to formally educate society in the field of health sciences.…”

Organizations nowadays are increasingly using a nondisclosure agreement to protect against the dissemination of certain information by employees. However, such methods have not always been successful, especially since a pandemic. Therefore, the aim of the article is to present the main trust factors. Identification of trust-building factors in the organization in order to increase efficiency and reduce indirect costs, as well as conduct theoretical analysis on this topic. Design/methodology/approach: The synthesis method and the analytical and comparative concept of building staff motivation were used. The theoretical analysis in the text is based on research that can be found in Polish, English and Russian literature. Findings:The article shows that by engaging the right disciplines it become possible to achieve absolute trust, which in turn serves as the key to effective work. Research limitations/implications: Building an atmosphere of trust begins with ways of learning, sharing information and knowledge while meeting the needs of the trusted person. Therefore, in future research on trust in the area of management, it is necessary to take into account the point of view of the related disciplines mentioned in the article. Social implications: A conscious desire to build organizational trust leads to an increase in work efficiency and a decrease in corrupt practices. Ultimately, this will lead to increased meaning of trust in business.Originality/value: A model of trust levels and their impact on work performance has been developed. The article can be used by the management as a guide to creating employee motivation systems.
