“…As observed in this study, the ideas of spirituality and willingness towards organ donation are closely linked, as they both re ect the profound beliefs and values held by individuals toward the act of bestowing the gift of life through organ transplantation [14]. The spiritual or religious convictions of many persons exert a signi cant in uence on their perspectives regarding the sanctity of life, the notion of sel essness, and the imperative to assist those in need [42]. Within the framework of these perspectives, the act of organ donation -built on the principles of empathy and altruism -needs to be encouraged by developing more educational programs involving various religious entities.…”

Introduction This study explored how the spiritual beliefs of medical and allied health students affect their willingness for organ donation. Materials and Methods An online questionnaire developed from interviews and Spirituality Orientation Inventory was used to survey 604 Nigerian medical and allied health students, including questions on students’ views on organ donation, spiritual beliefs, and spiritual reasons for organ donation choices. Descriptive analysis, crosstabulation, and Chi-squared tests, were used to determine proportions, and relationships between the variables, respectively. Statistical significance was set at p < 0.05. Results The majority (72.6%) of students support organ donation in principle. Yet only 38.25% are willing to donate posthumously, with 37.1% undecided, and a mere 16.89% willing to donate while alive. Predominantly, students identify as Christians (87.7%) or Muslims (11.6%). Approximately 43.05% are uncertain if their religion endorses organ donation, while 55.46% aim to follow their religious teachings and 25.99% try to do so. Belief in reincarnation (38.9%) and life after death (72.9%) are prevalent among respondents. Notably, the belief in reincarnation, life after death, and religious adherence significantly influences willingness to donate organs, whether posthumously or while alive (p < 0.05). Conclusion There is a noteworthy disparity between the theoretical support for organ donation and the actual willingness to donate, particularly while alive, among Nigerian students. The strong correlation between specific spiritual beliefs and the willingness to donate organs, emphasizes the substantial influence of spirituality on this decision-making process. There is therefore a need to consider spiritual factors when devising strategies to meet the increasing demand for donor organs.

“…Opieka pielęgniarska nad zakwalifikowanym dawcą narządów stanowi priorytetowy element procesu, który wiedzie do pobrania i przeszczepiania narządów. Niewątpliwie jest to jedno z najtrudniejszych zadań, przed jakimi staje pielęgniarka [22]. Wyniki innych badań wykazały, że pielęgniarki mają pozytywne i negatywne nastawienie do transplantacji narządów i potrzebują edukacji w tym zakresie.…”
