“…It was observed that people with a relative in need of transplantation or a family history of blood cancer/organ cancer were more willing to donate hematopoietic stem cells and organs (Koçak et al, 2010;Studts et al, 2010;Ozturk Emiral et al, 2017;Kulakcı Altıntaş, 2018;Bagcivan et al, 2020). The results of our study are in line with the literature.…”

Problem/aim This study was planned in order to determine the effect of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation awareness in university students on being a volunteer donor. Method: The research as a quasi-experimental single group study with a pretest-posttest design was completed with 1216 students who agreed to participate in the study.The data were collected through a questionnaire prepared by the researchers. The questionnaire consists of three parts and a total of 46 questions, which contains demographic attributes, knowledge about hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, and questions measuring participants' attitudes. Mean, standard deviation, median, frequency, Mann-Whitney U, Kruskal-Wallis, Pearson chi-square, Spearman's correlation tests were used to evaluate the data. The results were evaluated at a 95% confidence interval, and the significance level was p <0.05. Results: Participants was 41% studied in health sciences departments. While the pre-training awareness of the need for hematopoietic stem cell donors in Turkey was 51.9%, it increased to 92.1% after the training. Before the training, while 25.5% of the students stated that they definitely wanted to donate hematopoietic stem cells, this percentage increased to 45.9% after the training. The average increase of 52.68±24.35 units in the post-training hematopoietic stem cell transplant knowledge score of the students compared to the pre-training was found to be statistically significant (p=0.001) After the training, a statistically significant difference was found between the HSCT knowledge scores of the students according to their sociodemographic characteristics (gender, department, duration of degree, grades) (p=0.001) Conclusion: It was concluded in the study that the knowledge level of the students on hematopoietic stem cell transplantation was insufficient, and the training had a positive effect on their knowledge and attitude concerning hematopoietic stem cell donation.

“…There have been studies in Turkey assessing the knowledge of medical faculty students (15) and the knowledge of cancer patients or people having cancer patients in their families (16) regarding being bone marrow transplantation donors. However, we have not come across any study in the literature assessing the knowledge level of people regarding being bone marrow donors involving all hospital employees.…”

OBJECTIVE: Although there have been remarkable developments regarding stem-cell transplantation (HSCT) in Turkey, but the number of people who would like to be stem cell donors is not yet at the desired level. The present study aimed to assess the effect of the training delivered by specialists on the thoughts and decisions of the health employees working in our center on being HSCT donors. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Employees in the health sector who have not received any training in HSCT were included in the study. A half-hour of collective training for all participants was delivered by the General Directorate of Health Services Turkey Stem Cell Coordination Center (TÜRKÖK) on January 11-12, 2018. The present study included 274 health employeeswho attended the training delivered by TÜRKÖK. The pre-testand post-test were applied to determine the socio-demographic characteristics of the participants, their knowledge andattitudes about stem cell transplantation before and after thetraining, and the factors that motivate and prevent them frombeing a donor. RESULTS: Among the 95 participants, who did not think about being a donor before receiving education, the factors that caused them to not want to be a donor the most were their distrust of the health system (16.5%), the worry of causing pain (15.4%), and the thought that being a bone marrow donor had a negative impact on health (13.4%). A statistically significant increase was found in the rate of those who think about becoming a stem cell transplant donor after education (p:,0001), those who think they have enough information about stem cell transplant (p:,0001), those who think they know where to apply to be a stem cell donor (p:,000) those who thought that the society was sufficiently informed about stem cell transplantation (p:,0001). While 67.3% (171 people) of the participants stated that their determination to be a donor would continue until the end of the whole process, 32.7% (83 people) stated that they could stop being a donor. CONCLUSIONS: Our results show that continuing giving such trainings, especially in institutions, will contribute to the increase of the number of stem cell donor volunteers to a sufficient level by raising awareness on the subject and reducing false beliefs in our country.

“…However, few studies have been carried out with caregivers of HSCT patients, and these studies have been mostly quantitative. 19,20 There have been a few qualitative studies and these studies have not reflected the perceptions, thoughts and feelings of ICs at BMT units. [21][22][23] Therefore, in this study, it was aimed to investigate the perceptions of ICs of HSCT patients at a BMT unit in Türkiye in depth.…”
