For numerous patients suffering from pathologies that irreversibly damage organs and tissues, transplantation is the best therapeutic solution, and in several cases the only possible one. In this context the present study has set the objective to analyze the attitude of the respondents towards donation in relation to their education levels. A questionnaire was elaborated and administered. A range Linkert-score was associated with each question indicating as 0 the minimum preference and 5 the maximum preference. For each question participants had to indicate a single answer among proposals. Χ2 test among answers collected was assessed in order to statistically verify the significance between answers given by the two groups as regards organs donation. The recruited group was made up of 203 students of which 129 were girls (64%) and 74 were boys (36%). The youngest student was aged 17 and the oldest 21, mean age was 18.58±1.89 years. The population group considered in this study consisted of 203 subjects, of which 117 (58%) females and 86 (42%) males. The youngest person interviewed belonging to population group was aged 22 and the oldest was 87 years old, the mean age was 51.03±14.02 years. Our study revealed the attitude towards donation with a greater degree of consensus that has been demonstrated within the population rather than within students.

“…Also, personal belief, moral codes, religion, level of knowledge and existence of ambivalence were effected to willingness to donate in nursing students (15). 5), a web-based intervention (21), sharing informative material (3), a structured education program (8), an education program involving self-learning, sharing what is learned and participating in a seminar (9), lecturing (7), and peer education (22) have been shown to be effective in organ donation in several studies. Peer interactions play an important role in personal development of individuals (23).…”

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a peer learning on attitudes to organ donation and the rate of obtaining a donor card in university students. Method: This was a quasi-experimental study in a single group. Study was conducted between October-2017 and October-2019 from nursing (n=320) and the fine arts (n=160) students. Peer learning approach was applied as an intervention. Results: There was a statistically significant difference in the nursing faculty students’ positive attitudes to organ donation after peer learning. Also, there was a statistically significant difference in the second-year nursing students’ negative attitudes to organ donation after peer learning. The difference in the number of the nursing students having a donor card after peer learning was highly significant. There was not a statistically significant difference in the fine art students’ positive attitudes to organ donation and having a donor card after peer learning. Conclusions: It is recommended that private and social issues such as organ donation be taught to students in the higher education curriculum with the peer learning approach.

Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in widespread socioeconomic restrictions including quarantine, social distancing and self-isolation. This is the first study investigating the psychological impact of the pandemic on patients waiting for liver or kidney transplantation, a particularly vulnerable group.Methods: Twenty-seven patients on the transplantation waiting list and 43 healthy controls took part in an online survey including the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI-2), the Brief Symptom Inventory-18 (BSI-18), the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Alcohol Use Identification Test (AUDIT-C), the 12-item Operationalized Psychodynamic Diagnosis Structure Questionnaire (OPD-SQS) and a questionnaire to determine cognitions and beliefs, attitude and fear related to COVID-19.Results: BSI-18 Somatization was increased in waiting list patients compared to controls. Correlation analyses indicated a relationship between Somatization and the fear of contracting the coronavirus in the patient group; however this association was weak. In patients and controls, other psychologicial symptoms (depression, anxiety) correlated highly with emotional distress due to social distancing. There were no differences between patients and controls in depression scores and sleep disturbances. Alcohol consumption and personality structure were not related to COVID-19 fears.Conclusion: In times of the first lockdown during the COVID-19 pandemic, patients on the transplantation waiting list have high somatization symptoms associated with COVID-19 fears. As vulnerable group, they need psychological counseling to improve mental well-being during times of crisis.
