Objective: to assess the knowledge, attitude and practice of members of intrahospital organ and tissue donation commissions for transplants regarding the process of organ and tissue donation for transplants. Method: an evaluative, quantitative study, with the application of a questionnaire on knowledge, attitude and practice (CAP) to 34 health professionals in 2017. Results: it was found that the professionals were more adequate in terms of attitude and less in terms of knowledge. Professionals with specialization in the area and those who feel prepared obtained higher scores of knowledge and practice; those with double employment had lower attitude scores; those trained to serve on the commission and those who had no obstacles to conducting the process achieved higher scores for practice. The knowledge and practice scores showed a moderate positive correlation. Conclusion: there was a deficit of professionals regarding the knowledge domain of the donation and collection of organs for transplantation.
