“…Unsurprisingly, it is slightly higher than the percentage of organ donation for brain-dead patients (41.8%) 23 . Our study shows that the proportion of the general population willing to donate organs in the three regions of China studied was lower than that previously reported in Chinese health professionals (49.3%) 17 , Chinese transplantation patients and their caregivers (62.7%) 14 , medical students in Spain (79%) and in Germany (63.5%) [24][25] . All things considered, willingness to donate organs in Eastern, Western and Central China is lower than in other countries of the world and suggests targeted measures should be implemented by the decision-makers and scientists to improve the situation.…”

Background: This study aims to assess the level and determinants of the general public's willingness to organ donation.Methods: We conducted a population-based cross-sectional study of 4261 participants in China. The primary outcome was the willingness to donate organs. Logistic regression modelling was used to determine the factors that affect willingness to donate organs.Results: Overall, the proportion of participants who showed a willingness to donate organs was 47.45% (95%CI: 0.46, 0.49) in this study. Logistic regression modelling showed participants from Western (OR=1.35, 95%CI=1.13-1.62) and Eastern China (OR=1.54, 95%CI=1.20-1.66) were more willing to donate organs compared with those from Central China. The odds of being willing to donate organs was higher in females than males (OR=1.34, 95%CI=1.17-1.55); and was higher in those participants with experience of organ donation (OR=1.57, 95%CI=1.12-2.20), experience of caring for organ transplant patients (OR=1.47, 95%CI=1.03-2.10), and those undertaking related voluntary activities (OR=1.68, 95%CI=1.45-1.94), than those without. Conclusion:The general public's level of willingness to organ donation was not high in China. Geographical region, gender, experience of organ donation related activities, taking care of organ transplant patients and volunteering in related activities were independently associated with participants' willingness to donate organs.

“…Unsurprisingly, the rate of the general public’s willingness to donate organs was lower than that previously reported in Chinese health professionals (49.3%) [ 14 ], Chinese transplantation patients and their caregivers (62.7%) [ 32 ], medical students in Spain (79%) [ 33 ], in Germany (63.5%) [ 34 ] and Jimma University (58.1%) [ 35 ]. All things considered, general public’s willingness to donate organs in this study is not particularly high and targeted measures should be implemented by the policy-makers and scientists to improve the situation.…”

Background The purpose of this study is to assess the level of knowledge, attitudes, and willingness to organ donation among the general public in China. Methods The study population consisted of 4274 participants from Eastern, Central and Western China. The participants’ knowledge, attitudes and willingness to organ donation were collected by a self-designed questionnaire consisting of 30 items. Knowledge is measured by 10 items and presented as a 10 point score, attitudes is measured by 20 items using a 5-step Likert scale and total score ranged between 0 and 80; while the willingness to donate is assessed as binary variable (0 = No; 1 = Yes). A logistic regression model was used to assess the association of knowledge and attitudes with willingness to organ donation, controlling for demographic and socioeconomic confounders. Results The questionnaire response rate was 94.98%. The mean score (± SD) of the general public’s knowledge to organ donation was 6.84 ± 1.76, and the mean score (± SD) of attitudes to organ donation was 47.01 ± 9.07. The general public’s knowledge and attitudes were the highest in Eastern China, followed by West and Central China. The logistic regression model indicated a positive association between knowledge and the willingness to organ donation (OR = 1.12, 95%CI: 1.08, 1.17; P < 0.001); attitudes were also positively potential determinant of more willingness to organ donation (OR = 1.08, 95%CI: 1.07, 1.09; P < 0.001). Conclusions Knowledge and attitudes were found to be positively associated with the Chinese general public’s willingness to organ donation. Knowledge about the concept of brain death and the transplant procedure may help raise the rate of willingness to organ donation.

“…Aynı şekilde, İspanya'da tıp ve hemşirelik lisans öğrencileri üzerinde yapılan bir çalışmada ise aile üyelerinden birinin organlarını bağışladığını bildiren öğrencilerin ölüm halinde organ bağışında bulunmaya yönelik olumlu tutum gösterdikleri saptanmıştır. 17 Bu çalışmada, aile üyelerinin organ bağışına yönelik tutumlarının olumlu olduğunu bildiren katılımcıların organ bağışı konusundaki olumlu tutumlarının daha güçlü olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Benzer şekilde, Polonya'da hemşirelik öğrencileri üzerinde yapılan bir çalışmada aile üyelerinin organ bağışına yönelik olumlu tutumu organ bağışına karşı daha olumlu bir tutumla ilişkilendirilmiştir.…”

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, sağlık bilimleri lisans öğrencilerinin organ bağışına yönelik tutumlarını incelemek ve bu tutumu etkileyen faktörleri belirlemektir. Yöntem: Kesitsel tipteki bu çalışma, Ocak-Şubat 2021 tarihleri arasında Güneydoğu Anadolu Bölgesi’nde bulunan bir üniversitenin Sağlık Bilimleri Fakültesinde 495 öğrenci üzerinde yürütülmüştür. Katılımcılar, sosyo-demografik faktörleri ve Organ Bağışı Tutum Ölçeği ile ilgili soruları içeren bir öz bildirim anketi doldurdu. Anket tamamlanma oranı %70 idi. İstatistiksel analizler için IBM SPSS yazılımı kullanıldı. p değerleri<0.05 istatistiksel olarak anlamlı kabul edildi. Veriler; tanımlayıcı istatistikler, Kolmogorov-Smirnov testi, Bağımsız Örneklem T testi ve Tek Yönlü ANOVA testi kullanılarak analiz edildi. Bulgular: Katılımcıların yaş ortalaması 20.63±1.87 yıl idi. Katılanların %45.4’ü ölüm halinde organlarını bağışlamaya istekliyken, geriye kalan %54.6’sı ise organlarını bağışlamaya isteksizdi. Organ bağışına yönelik olumlu tutum ile ilgili değişkenler: kadın cinsiyette olma, çekirdek aile yapısı, kentte yaşama, organ bağışçısı olma isteği, ailenin geçmişte organ nakli ve bağışı deneyimi, aile üyelerinin organ bağışına yönelik olumlu tutumu ve organ bağışı ile ilgili dini inanışlardır. Sonuç: Araştırmaya katılanlar arasında organ bağışına karşı yüksek düzeyde olumlu tutum, ancak düşük düzeyde isteklilik fark edilmiştir. Geleceğin sağlık profesyonellerinin olumlu tutumlarını ve bağış yapma isteğini en üst düzeye çıkarmak için farkındalık oluşturulması teşvik edilmelidir.
