The current study firstly aimed at investigating organ donation and related factors. Another aim of the study is to compare the knowledge and attitude levels of organ donation between the risky population with organ failure and healthy participants. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional survey was conducted in the tertiary university hospital between March-October 2019. A total of 88 healthy participants (group 1) and 56 participants with chronic kidney disease ((CKD) (group 2)) were included in the study. Organ donation attitudes of participants were measured with Organ Donation Attitudes Scales Turkish Version questionnaire. Result: A total of 144 participants (56 were CKD patients and 88 healthy participants) were included in the study. The scores of all participants from the sub-dimensions of the scale were humanity and moral conviction / beliefs (HMC): 90.70±20.36, fears of medical neglect (FMN): 27.38±11.52 and fears of bodily mutilation (FBM): 32.03±10.67, respectively. Group 2 participants' humanity and moral conviction/beliefs (HMC) dimension scores were higher than group 1. Group 2 participants' fears of medical neglect (FMN) score was higher than group 1. Factors affecting organ donation attitudes were gender and education level. Conclusion: Organ donation positive attitude scores were higher in women and those with higher education levels. Our results may suggest developing empathy and education programs on organ transplantation, as a means for increasing the number of potential organ donors. Amaç: Bu çalışma öncelikle bireylerin organ bağışına yönelik tutumları ve ilgili faktörleri araştırmayı amaçlamıştır. Çalışmanın bir diğer amacı, organ yetmezliği olan riskli grup ile sağlıklı katılımcılar arasındaki organ bağışı bilgi ve tutum düzeylerini karşılaştırmaktır Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu kesitsel çalışma bir üniversite hastanesinde Mart-Ekim 2019 tarihleri arasında yürütüldü. Çalışmaya 88 sağlıklı (grup 1) ve 56 kronik böbrek hastalığı (KBH) olan (grup 2) bireyler dahil edildi. Katılımcıların organ bağışına yönelik tutumları Organ Bağışı Tutum Ölçeğinin Türkçe versiyonu ile elde edildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya toplam 144 katılımcı (56 KBH birey, 88 sağlıklı birey) dahil edildi. Ölçeğin alt boyutlarından tüm katılımcıların puanları sırasıyla humanity and moral conviction / beliefs (HMC): 90.70 ± 20.36, fears of medical neglect (FMN): 27.38 ± 11.52 ve fears of bodily mutilation (FBM): 32.03 ± 10.67 idi. Grup 2'de ki katılımcıların insanlık ve ahlaki inanç / inançlar (HMC) boyut puanları ve tıbbi ihmal korkusu (FMN) skorları grup 1'den yüksekti. Organ bağışı tutumlarını etkileyen faktörler cinsiyet ve eğitim düzeyidir. Sonuç: Elde ettiğimiz veriler katılımcıların organ bağışı konusundaki istekliliklerinin ve farkındalıklarının düşük olduğunu göstermiştir. Organ bağışı pozitif tutum puanları kadınlarda ve eğitim düzeyi yüksek olanlarda daha yüksek saptandı. Elde ettiğimiz verilere dayanarak potansiyel organ bağışçılarının sayısını artırmak için organ nakli konusunda empati ve bilgi düzeyini arttıracak eğitim ...

“…[31,32] Attitudes toward organ donation Information about the attitudes toward organ donation in the Arab countries is the result of multiple surveys of patients, relatives, professionals, and public members. [33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44] According to an extensive multicenter survey in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Egypt by the Renal Transplant Study Group, end-stage renal disease patients tended to take the initiative in seeking living unrelated renal transplantation, despite physician discouragement, and the significant financial burden. [33] A survey of 702 Tunisian physicians, nurses, and technicians by Tebourski et al, 59% were favorable toward organ donation.…”

“…While 51% wanted to carry a donor card before teaching (vs. 59% after), and those who were agreeable to consent to organ donation in case of brain death of a relative (46% before vs. 56% after), the proportion of respondents actually carrying a donor card did not change before and after the educational session (11.3%). El Hangouche et al [41] evaluated the knowledge and perception of the public in Morocco toward organ donation as well as to identify the reasons and determinants for refusal of organ donation. This opinion survey included a representative sample of 2000 participants.…”

Introduction: Ethical issues have been at the center of transplantation medicine for the past 60 years. Arab countries are not without ethical concerns with living donations as the dominant type of organ source. There is no comprehensive review of the ethical consideration evolvement. This narrative review aims to examine the English medical literature over the past 25 years. Materials and Methods: This is a narrative review of the international literature from two online databases (PubMed and Scopus). The combined search term “Ethics and Transplantation” was coupled with the individual names of the countries of the Arab countries. Relevant literature was narrated in a concise thematic account. Results: The themes that emerged from the review process included global concern on transplantation ethics that touched on the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Some reports on transplantation practice status in the MENA region address clinical practice, organization, and ethical considerations. Organ-specific reports focused on renal and liver transplantation. Several other researchers addressed the knowledge and attitudes of health-care professionals of transplantation and posttransplantation care. The ethics of transplantation medicine has focused on the donation and financially motivated provision of organs (mainly kidneys). A few authors have underscored the implications of the Istanbul declaration on the prevention of trafficking of human organs to the practice of transplant medicine. Being a Muslim-majority region, several authors addressed the ethical and medicolegal aspects of transplantation from an Islamic perspective. Conclusions: Ethical issues in transplantation are evolving in Arab countries. They are mostly related to religious and cultural backgrounds. A broader dialog between the medical community, Islamic scholars, and legislators must continue to align concepts such as brain death and donor compensation. Furthermore, a concerted effort is required to inform the public and further the transplant agenda.

“…In a research conducted by Puharić and associates [11], most participants were unsure of the decision or would not donate their organs as well as the organs of family members. Some of the reasons for a negative attitude towards organ donation are familial [12], loss of body integrity [13], mutilation of the body and fear of complications [14], as well as concern about medical errors and organ tra cking [15].…”

Background: The aim of this study was to determine whether there are differences in opinion and knowledge about organ donation of nurses working in the surgical and non-surgical department. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 223 nurses working in surgical, and non-surgical departments. An anonymous survey questionnaire was used as a research instrument, which consisted of questions on socio-demographic data, and questions on opinions and knowledge about organ donation. Results: Most participants would donate their organs after death (71.2%). The most common reason for not donating organs was insufficient information (40%), the importance of knowing that their body will be whole at the time of burial (21.8%), and the age of the respondents (20%). Participants would donate organs after the death of a close family member (52.3%). 29 (13.2%) participants have a donor card, significantly more of them from surgical departments (P = 0.04). Participants who would not donate their organs were significantly more likely to say that they would not or did not know whether they would receive an organ from a person of another religion (P < 0,001). Participants from surgical departments (P = 0.04) and Masters of Nursing have significantly more correct answers. (P = 0,009). Conclusion: Most participants would donate their organs after death, with no statistical significance regarding the position and level of education. Knowledge about organ donation was average, significantly higher among Masters of Nursing and among participants from surgical departments.
