BACKGROUND: Medical professionals' knowledge of and attitudes toward organ donation and transplantation have positive impact on donation rates. The aim of this study was to determine the knowledge and attitude of medical university students in Iran about organ donation and transplantation.METHODS: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 1078 undergraduate students in Golestan University of Medical Sciences, Gorgan, Iran, from January to June 2019. All eligible students were recruited using convenient sampling. Data were gathered using knowledge and attitude toward organ donation and transplantation questionnaire. The higher scores of both subscales, the knowledge subscale (range from 0 to 13) and the attitude subscale (range from 13 to 65), indicate the better knowledge and attitude toward organ donation and transplantation.RESULTS: The mean age of students was 22.24±5.16 years. Finding showed that the mean score of students' knowledge and attitude toward organ donation and organ transplantation were 8.48±1.71 and 48.55±8.11 respectively. Also, the mean score of students’ knowledges in females (P<0.001), married (P=0.001) and who had organ donation card (P<0.001) was significantly higher. Nearly all of the students had heard about organ donation (98.3%) and organ transplantation (98.4%). Majority of them pointed that their source of information about organ donation and transplantation was television (TV) program (47.1%). Most of the students (73.8%) reported that they agree to donate their organs but most of them (67.5%) did not know how to obtain organ donation card and only 9.6% of them had the organ donor card as a volunteer donor.CONCLUSION: According to finding, despite the awareness and favorable attitude about organ donation and transplantation among medical students, the number of registered donors was low. In addition to promoting college students’ awareness about organ donation for increasing registered donors, it is needed to aware and pursue lay people through social media.

“…It is widely believed in society that men, who are the "breadwinners", may be more reluctant to donate their organs compared to women, whose decision to donate is largely influenced by their parents, spouses or both. However, there are also studies that do not confirm the existence of any relationship between sex and the knowledge of organ donation [25][26][27][28][29][30].…”

(1) The aim of our study was to determine the attitudes of medical students toward organ donation in the case of brain death. (2) The study was conducted among 1348 medical students from three medical universities in Poland. The research tool was the Polish version of the standardized questionnaire concerning attitudes toward organ donation and transplantation (ODT) [PCID-DTO RIOS: A questionnaire designed by the ‘International Collaborative Organ Donation project about organ transplantation and donation]. (3) Some sources of information on organ donation were found to have a significant impact on the recipients’ knowledge of brain death. These were books, friends, family, lectures in other centers, social media, and the Church. Medical students holding the opinion that recovery and leading a normal lifestyle after brain death is impossible were significantly more likely to donate their organs after death, not for religious reasons and not because they wanted to survive their own death. (4) The medical students in our study showed a high level of awareness and favorable attitudes toward ODT. However, the number of registered donors was low. It is important to educate students on these issues to raise the awareness of both future medical professionals and the public on organ transplantation procedures. The public should be made aware that transplantation procedures are of a high standard, and that the law protects both donors and recipients. These measures would reduce recipients’ waiting time, and certainly increase the statistics of the number of life-saving and health-saving procedures.

“…The present study used SST scenarios to investigate the PTs' written arguments. Studies in the literature have also used various SST scenarios, including genetically modified organisms (GMO), environmental pollution, climate change, and organ transplantation and organ donation, to investigate written argumentation levels of PTs (Soysal, 2012;Torun & Açıkgül-Fırat, 2020;Yalçın, 2018;Gürkan, 2018).

Argumentation is a process that involves finding solutions to real-life problems by obtaining and analyzing valid, reliable data and using reasoning and supporting it to reach conclusions. Students are expected to demonstrate the capacity to use arguments, data, justifications, and rebuttals and to participate actively in the argumentation process. Socio-scientific issues are suitable topics for expressing opinions. Arguments can be expressed in writing or verbally. In this study, it was aimed to examine the written argumentation levels of 143 pre-service teachers on healthy nutrition, organ transplantation, organic agriculture, and vaccine hesitancy. Four scenarios with related questions were designed by the researchers. These were applied to the teacher candidates who voluntarily participated in the research with the easily accessible sampling model. Written responses were analyzed by different experts according to the argumentation levels as suggested by the relevant literature. The results of the analysis showed that the pre-service teachers' levels of expressing their own views were moderate and above, while the levels of expressing counterarguments in writing, refuting and justifying their claims were low. It shows that pre-service teachers' competencies in critical thinking skills should be developed.
