“…A positive, strong association was found between attitudes toward organ donation and willingness to donate organs in practice, a finding that was similar to findings in previous studies [ 42 , 43 , 44 , 45 ]. Positive attitudes regarding the topic of organ donation have a positive effect on peoples’ willingness to be future organ donors.…”

The number of people on the waiting list for an organ transplant increases year after year. However, the number of donated organs available for transplantation does not rise in line with this increased demand. This study examines the associations between altruism, attitudes towards organ donation, and behavioral intentions regarding organ donation within the Jewish population in Israel. In a cross-sectional study, 452 participants completed an online questionnaire. Data collection occurred between November and December 2020. Convenience sampling was used, and participation was voluntary. Data were analyzed using Pearson correlations and independent samples t-tests. Within the study population, we found high levels of altruistic behaviors and positive attitudes toward organ donation. However, the level of behavioral intentions toward organ donation was low. No associations were found between altruism levels and attitudes toward organ donation, or between altruism levels and the degree of behavioral intentions toward organ donation. However, a positive relationship was found between attitudes toward organ donation and willingness to sign an organ donor card. In addition, positive associations were found between religiosity and altruism, while negative associations were found between religiosity and attitudes towards organ donation, and between religiosity and willingness to sign an organ donor card. Positive attitudes toward organ donation may result in increased organ donation in the future. Thus, raising awareness and positive attitudes toward organ donation among the wider public and, in particular, the ultra-Orthodox population in Israel in particular is necessary. Consequently, it is essential that information about the organ donation process is accessible and culturally adaptive to different sectors.

Background: Organ donation is a life-saving process of removing an organ or tissue surgically from one person (the organ donor) and placing it into another person (the recipient). As well as The demand for organ donation is increasing over time Thus, understanding the attitudes and beliefs associated with parental decision making improve the rate of transplantation. Aims: To Evaluate the perception of Saudi parents towards pediatric organ donation, and to assess the role of cultural and religious beliefs in the parental decision-making regarding organ donation, and to discover the misconceptions leading to the refusal of organ donation. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Riyadh region from 1 July 2020 to 31 August 2020 among all Saudi parents aged 18-60 years in Riyadh at the kingdom of Saudi Arabia via an online questionnaire, the responses were Statistically analysis using R v 3.6.3. The mean ±standard deviation was used to summarize the distribution of continuous variables. Chi-square test of independence was used to assess the association between categorical variables. Linear regression was used to assess factors associated with knowledge regarding organ donation. Results: Among 588, the majority of responses, female 91.5%, showed that better education was associated with knowing about organ donation in children, with 60.7% of respondents who completed university education reporting so compared to 49.6% of those who completed high school education or more minor. Socio-economic status showed a statistically significant association with knowledge score (B = 0.36, P < 0.05). Moreover, higher education level showed a statistically significant association with accepting organ donation from one’s child (OR = 1.77, P = 0.05), in contrast to age, gender, and the number of children were not associated with organ donation acceptance. Respondents who did not think organ donation was permissible in Islam were less likely to accept organ donation than respondents who believed it was permissible (OR = 0.05, P < 0.001). More than half of the respondents heard about organ donation for children after death. At the same time, less than half of the respondents knew the correct definition for brain death. Only 34.7% of respondents knew that organ donation is allowed starting from birth. Most respondents knew about the possible organs to donate except for the lung. In addition, 45% of the respondents are either agreed or strongly agreed to discuss organ donation with their partner if they faced child loss. Conclusion: This study found a lack of knowledge regarding organ donation among parents and impressively shows that the parents are willing to discuss organ donation if they face child loss. There was an urgent need to introduce campaigns focussing on awareness of child organ donation, including the protocol used in Saudi Arabia, especially among low socioeconomic status and who do not know Islam permission.

Amaç: Bu çalışma öğrencilerin organ bağışına ilişkin düşüncelerinin, izletilen organ bağışı temalı film ve videolardan etkilenip etkilenmediğini incelenmek amacıyla planlanmıştır.Materyal-metot: Çalışma tanımlayıcı tipte olup, nitel ve nicel araştırma teknikleri birlikte kullanılmıştır. Üç aşamalı olarak planlanmıştır. Çalışmaya dahil edilen toplam 21 hemşirelik öğrencisi 2 gruba bölünmüş ve her iki gruba da farklı 2 film ve aynı kamu spotları izletilmiştir. Öğrencilere organ nakliyle ilgili 2 film ve organ nakline özendirici 3 video (kamu spotu/reklam) izletilmiştir. Öğrencilerin organ bağışına ilişkin ve film/video sonrası düşünce değişikliklerini sorgulayan yarı yapılandırılmış soru formunda 19 soru bulunmaktadır. Çalışma sürecinde elde edilen veriler araştırmacılar tarafından manuel olarak transkript edilmiş, benzer veriler temalar çerçevesinde kodlanmıştır.Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılmaya gönüllü olan öğrencilerin yaş ortalaması 21,38±1,46 olup 15 (%71,4)’i kadındır. Her iki grubun da filmi/videoları izledikten sonraki görüşleri/söylemleri doğrultusunda 4 ana tema ve her ana temanın altında farklı alt temalar belirlenmiştir. Bu ana temalar “1.filmle ilgili çıkarımlar (sağlık politikaları, empati, sosyal medya, maddi yetersizlik algısı alt temaları)”, “2.filmle ilgili çıkarımlar (cesaretlendirme alt teması)”, “videolar/kamu spotları ile ilgili çıkarımlar (dini destek, organ bağışının başkaları için önemi, videoları teşvik edici-bilgilendirici bulma alt temaları)” ve “öğrenci önerileri”dir.Sonuç: Öğrencilerin çoğunluğu izledikleri filmleri ve videoları etkileyici bulmuştur. Videoların kısa olmasının organ bağışında daha etkili olabileceğini ifade etmişlerdir. Film/videolar, öğrencilerin organ bağışına ilişkin olumlu yöndeki görüşlerini pekiştirmiştir. Öğrenci görüşleri doğrultusunda oluşturulan temalarda “dini destek” alt teması ön plana çıkmıştır.
