“…This finding is supported by a cross-sectional study[ 19 ] of medical students in which television was reported as the most common source of information about the study topic. However, these findings differ from those of the Goa study,[ 16 ] where newspapers (44.8%), followed by television (40.5%), were reported as the most common source of information about cadaveric organ donation. In the current study, only nursing students were included, whereas consultants, resident doctors, and nurses were included in the Goa study.…”

“…We discovered that 91% of respondents were aware of organ donation from deceased individuals. This finding is comparable to the Goa study,[ 16 ] in which 91.5% of participants reported familiarity with cadaver organ donation, but slightly lower than those of the Delhi[ 17 ] and Bangalore[ 18 ] studies (96% and 99%, respectively). In the present study, 26% of participants indicated that television was the most common source of information about organ donation from deceased donors, followed by scientific journals (24%), newspapers (16%), radio (1%), and other sources (36%).…”

“…The conclusion is supported by a study conducted in Turkey,[ 20 ] which found a statistically significant correlation between religious attitude and the sub-dimension of apprehension of medical neglect on the Organ Donation Attitude Scale. In contrast, 3.6% of participants in the Goa study[ 16 ] cited their “religious beliefs” as their unwillingness to donate. Differences in the results may be attributable to differences in sample size and regional variation, and 82% of respondents knew that cadaver liver, kidney, pancreas, heart, lung, and intestines can be donated.…”

“…In comparison, 57% knew that cadaver cornea, bone, skin, heart valve, blood vessels, nerves, and tendons could also be donated. In contrast, participants in the Goa study[ 16 ] revealed that the cornea was the most frequently donated organ (89.3%), followed by the kidney (80%), heart (68.3%), and lungs (25.3%). In another study[ 7 ] conducted in South India, kidney donation awareness was found to be the highest (94%), followed by heart (82%), liver (78%), cornea (59%), and lungs (55%) donation awareness.…”

“…The improvement after training was moderate on the topics like the category of patients fit for cadaver organ donation, coordination of deceased organ donation activities in hospitals, the organization responsible for promoting cadaver organ donation in the state, legislation covering the cadaver organ donation and transplantation, clinical findings for declaring a patient as brain stem dead, and correct organ and tissue donation form for pledging the organ as per Act. Goa’s study[ 16 ] reported that 94% of the participants knew that brain-dead people could donate organs. This finding is higher than our study (52%).…”

Background: “Donation gap” refers to the shortage of organ donors worldwide. The medical/nursing students and various healthcare workers have poor awareness and attitude toward organ donation. Objective: We conducted this study to assess the current level of knowledge and perception regarding cadaver organ donation and transplantation among nursing students and to evaluate the impact of structured training interventions on their baseline knowledge and perception level. Methods: It was a single-group pre-post interventional study done by nursing students of one government and one private nursing college.A pre-tested questionnaire was used as a study tool. Statistical Analysis: Various statistical tests like one-way repeated measure ANOVA, Mauchly’s test of sphericity, and Greenhouse–Geisser correction were used. Pairwise comparisons used Bonferroni corrections. Results: The pre-test group had the lowest mean knowledge (50.2346, SD = 15.35188), and immediately after training group had the highest (57.3900, SD = 14.34626). After one month, knowledge decreased but was still higher than pretraining (mean = 52.3607, SD = 13.28141). Conclusions: The positive attitude of nursing students may augment cadaver organ donation and transplantation in the future. The study has also highlighted the further training needs of the participants.

ObjectivesTo understand the barriers towards deceased organ donation among Indians living globally.DesignIntegrative systematic review using narrative synthesis.Data sourcesCINAHL, Medline full-text, PsycInfo, Scopus, Global Health, Web of Science, and PubMed Central, Indian Journal of Transplantation and Google Scholar.Time period1 January 1994 to 31 December 2021.ParticipantsIndividuals of Indian origin living globally.ResultsEighty-nine studies were included with more than 29 000 participants and quality of the studies were assessed using Joanna Briggs Institute’s critical appraisal tool. Though majority of the participants had knowledge toward organ donation with a positive influence on willingness, the gap between knowledge and willingness was huge, with minimal registration influenced by the complex sociocultural constructs. Various sociocultural constructs such as family, fear and mistrust, religion, and bodily issues play a vital role. Differences were identified in willingness to donate and register between southern and other regions of India. Indian’s organ donation behaviour in other geographical locations differed based on the socioreligious background of the country they lived in such as in Malaysia, Canada and the UK. However, they were collective in decision-making and had complex sociocultural interference irrespective of the country the individual lived which differed only in their next generations.ConclusionThough this study showed the complex relationship, and its influences on organ donation behaviour, lacunae were identified to further understand how such complex interactions determine or inform the behaviour. Also, methodological issues were identified, where this particular population outside India were collectively studied with their neighbouring population which are not homogenous. Studies in India majorly addressed a similar aim using similar methods which produced repetition of studies leading to lack of diversified, wider and in-depth research. Therefore, while this systematic review addressed the barriers toward organ donation among Indians living globally, it also informs various gaps in research and also methodological issues.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42019155274.

Organ transplantation saves thousands of lives every year. Despite growing awareness of transplantation, the issue of obtaining organs for transplantation has been controversial for years. Hundreds of people are waiting in lines all the time for transplantation, for whom it is the only hope for a cure. One extremely important factor contributing to the low number of transplants is the low number of organ donations from deceased donors. Nurses are considered key facilitators of the organ procurement and transplantation process. Their knowledge of and attitudes toward organ donation can influence public opinion, as well as the decisions of their families to donate the organs of the deceased. The purpose of our study was to determine the opinions of surveyed nurses about transplantation and the reasons for negative public attitudes toward organ donation. The survey included 793 nurses employed in surgical wards across Poland with varying levels of job seniority. The survey was conducted between September and October 2022. The research tool was a survey questionnaire, consisting of three parts: socio-demographic data, questions assessing the respondents' knowledge of behavior about transplantation, and a non-standardized tool to measure respondents' emotional and motivational attitudes toward transplantation. Participation in the survey was anonymous and voluntary. The statistical analysis for independence of variables used the χ2 test. On the other hand, coefficients based on the Phi and Cramer's V test, as well as Kruskal Wallis non-parametric tests for assessing differences (for more than 2 samples) were used to determine the strength of the relationship. During these analyses, in addition to standard statistical significance, the corresponding “p” values were calculated using the Monte Carlo method. According to the nurses surveyed, transplantation is a life-saving procedure. A significant proportion of the nurses (85.6%) believe that there are too few donors in Poland. According to 41.8% of the respondents, this is due to the fear of misdiagnosis of death, for 23.4% it is incompatible with their worldview or religion and 31.8% believe it is due to the belief in the inviolability of the human body after death. The survey showed that, in the nurses' opinion, the reason for objections to organ transplantation is the deficit in public's knowledge of cell, tissue and organ donation from both living and dead donors. Therefore it is extremely important to conduct educational campaigns in this regard.
