Abstract:

 Objective: This research was conducted to evaluate the knowledge and attitudes of health education students towards organ donation. Method: The research was conducted in a descriptive-correlational type. It was conducted on students studying in the departments of nursing, nutrition and dietetics at a university located in the east of Turkey. Data were collected in September 2023. The sample of the study consisted of 407 individuals. Data were collected using the Introductory Information Form, Organ Tissue Donation And Transplantation Knowledge Scale ODTKS, and the Attitudes towards Organ Donation Scale. Results: positive and significant correlation was found between the median of the Individuals Organ Tissue Donation And Transplantation Knowledge Scale and the total mean score of the Attitudes towards Organ Donation Scale p0.05. Positive and significant correlation was found between age and the total mean score of the Attitudes towards Organ Donation Scale p0.05. Conclusion: Positive and significant relationship was found between the individuals level of organ donation knowledge and their attitudes towards organ donation.

 Amaç: Bu araştırma, sağlık eğitimi alan öğrencilerinin organ bağışına yönelik bilgi ve tutumlarını değerlendirmek amacıyla yapılmıştır. Yöntem: Araştırma tanımlayıcı-ilişkisel tipte gerçekleştirilmiştir. Türkiyenin doğusunda yer alan bir üniversitenin hemşirelik, beslenme ve diyetetik bölümlerinde öğrenim gören öğrenciler üzerinde yürütülmüştür. Veriler Eylül 2023te toplanmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemi 407 kişiden oluşmaktadır. Veriler Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu, Organ Doku Bağışı ve Transplantasyon Bilgi Ölçeği ODTKS ve Organ Bağışına Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır. Bulgular: Bireylerin Organ Doku Bağışı ve Nakli Bilgi Ölçeği ortancası ile Organ Bağışına Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği toplam puan ortalaması arasında pozitif ve anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur p0,05. Yaş ile Organ Bağışına Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği toplam puan ortalaması arasında pozitif ve anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur p0,05. Sonuç: Bireylerin organ bağışı bilgi düzeyleri ile organ bağışına yönelik tutumları arasında pozitif ve anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur.
