“…However, the primary endpoint of many previous studies was organ donor registration or designation, 12,13 as is the case with our study The sum of the percentages exceeds 100 because selection of more than one source of information or knowledge was permissible.

“…Two systematic reviews have shown that education on organ donation and transplantation effectively influenced participants' knowledge, attitudes, and behavior. 12,13 However, little is known about the effect of education programs on changing attitudes and behaviors of participants and their families toward deceased organ donation. The aim of the present study was to assess whether an educational program designed for nursing students was effective in changing the attitudes toward deceased organ donation and promoting family discussion and organ donor designation in both nursing students and their families, compared with information booklets.…”

Introduction: Little is known about the effect of education programs on changing attitudes and behaviors of participants and their families toward deceased organ donation. Methods:The subjects of this randomized trial were Japanese nursing students who were not previously designated organ donors. They were randomly assigned to either the education program or information booklet group. The program comprised a lecture followed by group discussion and information booklet. The primary outcome was self-reported organ donor designation. Outcomes were assessed by questionnaire.Results: Data of 203 (99.0%) students were analyzed. At study end, seven of 102 students (6.9%) of the program group and one of 101 students (1.0%) of the booklet group consented to donate organs (proportion ratio 6.93 [95% CI 0.87-55.32]). There were significant between-group differences in willingness to consent for donation (54.9% vs 39.6%; proportion ratio 1.39 [95% CI 1.03-1.87]), family discussion (31.4% vs 15.9%; 1.98 [1.16-3.38]), and organ donor designation of family members (11.8% vs 2. 0%; 5.94 [1.36-25.88]). No group differences were found in willingness for organ donation by students and family members. Conclusion:Although there were no significant between-group differences in organ donor designation, the program seems to indirectly promote consent to organ donation by their families.

“…Given this, identification of innovative strategies for registering more donors is an area of paramount importance to organ donation practitioners. Teenagers are a promising target population for such interventions, 4‐6 but they constitute a relatively understudied population in the organ donation literature.…”

Teenagers represent a promising target population for organ donor registration efforts, as in the US teenagers age 15-17 may register their intent for organ donation, which later translates to consent at age 18. However, teenagers constitute a relatively understudied population in the organ donation literature. A sample of teenagers (N = 466) ranging in age from 13 to 19 was recruited from driver's education schools in Ohio and Michigan in order to learn more about their perceived reasons for and against registering as an organ donor. A coding scheme was developed, and responses were coded by two trained coders. In line with previous work in adult samples, our results revealed the three most common reasons for registering were prosocial benefits, rational arguments, and personal experience. In contrast to previous work among adults, the two most common reasons for not registering were bodily integrity and religious reasons. Several novel beliefs among teenagers that were both supportive and non-supportive of organ donor registration were identified. Findings from the current study are discussed with an emphasis on implications for practitioners working to promote organ donor registration among teenage audiences.

“…There was a significant increase in knowledge or awareness following classroom intervention for all ten studies that included it in their analysis and six out of seven studies that assess family discussion reported a positive effect. 5 However, the effect of classroom interventions on organ donation decisions was variable, with four out of ten studies assessing organ donation decisions demonstrating no effect, negative effect, or inability to reproduce the effect. 5 These discrepancies could be attributed to a number of aspects, as previous research has found socioeconomic status, age, sex, and race influence attitudes to organ donation.…”

“…5 However, the effect of classroom interventions on organ donation decisions was variable, with four out of ten studies assessing organ donation decisions demonstrating no effect, negative effect, or inability to reproduce the effect. 5 These discrepancies could be attributed to a number of aspects, as previous research has found socioeconomic status, age, sex, and race influence attitudes to organ donation. 1,[6][7][8] The exact reasons why these aspects affect registration are unclear, a systematic review involving a total of 1019 participants aimed to explore this by evaluating the qualitative factors affecting registration and identified eight main areas: (a) Relation to the recipient: individuals were more willing to donate to friends or family; (b) Family influences: opinions of family members were influential; (c) Religion: belief that donation was encouraged or discouraged by religion; (d) Cultural influence: superstition and unwillingness to discuss death; (e) Body integrity: unwillingness to undergo an organ retrieval operation; (f) Medical mistrust: negative opinions based on previous experiences; (g) Knowledge of the donation process: unwillingness to decide due to lack of information, particularly "urban myths"; and (h) Reservations despite positive beliefs: a culmination of positive and negative opinions formed from the above reasons.…”

Background Over 6000 people are on the United Kingdom organ transplant waiting list, and approximately three people die each day due to a lack of donors. Social deprivation status has been shown to affect registration. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of school level education at increasing awareness of the issues surrounding organ donation and organ donor registration, and the effect of socioeconomic deprivation and age has on these outcomes. Methods A 15‐minute presentation about organ donation and the issues in transplantation was given to secondary school students from the United Kingdom. An optional questionnaire was then distributed. Results 1155 paper questionnaires were completed from nine schools. The average age was 15.5 (SD = 0.5) years. Before the presentation, 10% of students were on the ODR. Following the presentation, the number of students who were on the ODR or planned to join significantly increased to 56%, independent of age (P < 0.0001). Similarly, there was a significant increase in Likert scores for awareness of the issues in transplantation, independent of age (P < 0.0001). Conclusions This early educational presentation significantly increased awareness of the issues in transplantation and planned organ donor registration, independent of age and deprivation.
