“…It is difficult to explain this attitude, but it raises the question of whether the first answer given about attitude towards donation was due to the need to please and whether they really do have such a positive opinion. With respect to psychosocial factors that determine this attitude, we have found that most classic psychosocial factors in the population do not have an influence (6)(7). What does in fact determine attitude are family factors: family communication on issues about donation and transplantation as well as partner's or spouse's opinion about organ donation.…”

Introduction: Attitude of health personnel, especially of physicians, has a significant influence on populational attitude towards organ donation and transplantation. The objective here is to analyse the attitude of Primary Care (PC) physicians towards cadaveric organ donation and transplantation and to determine the factors which condition this attitude.Materials and methods: A random sample was stratified by geographical location (six health areas of our community) among PC physicians. A total of 155 responses from 32 health centres were collected. Attitude towards donation was evaluated using a psychosocial attitudinal questionnaire about donation validated in our geographical area. The co-ordinator of physicians in each centre was contacted in each centre and was made responsible for distribution and collection of the questionnaires which were completed anonymously. The 2 test and Student's t-test were applied. Results: 88% (n=136) of the PC physicians are in favour of organ donation, 1% (n=2) are against and 11% (n=17) are undecided. Up to 84% of the PC physicians (n=130) have attended to transplant patients, although this fact is not related to a more positive attitude towards donation (p=0.059). In addition, 64% (n=99) have provided favourable information about organ donation and transplantation to their patients and one of the physicians admits having provided unfavourable information about the matter. On analysing the psychosocial variables which influence such an attitude, a relationship has only been found with respect to two variables: attitude towards cadaveric manipulation (p=0.035) and a partner's opinion towards the subject (p=0.006).Conclusions: PC physicians have a very favourable attitude towards donation of their own organs and constitute a positive source of information on the subject for the general public.

“…All the rates are similar and sometimes higher than those found in the general public in favor of deceased-donor donation. 15,16 Second, living donation has positive effects on the donor (it does not just cause morbidity and mortality) but an improvement in the personal relationship between donor and recipient. 17 This means that there is a strong potential supply of organs far above that of deceased-donor organs that has yet to be developed in Spain.…”

“…15,16 In other words, respondents are much more in favor when they believe that they might be potential recipients of a transplant and when they would be willing to receive one from a living donor.…”

“…Finally, the attitude of a respondent's partner is crucial, as in the case of deceaseddonor donation 15,16 : when the partner is against it, the percentage of respondents who are unsure about this type of donation increases dramatically and when the respondent does not know the attitude of their partner there is also a decline in favorable attitude. This is another reason for us to insist upon the importance of family discussion about organ donation.…”

OBJECTIVETo determine the attitude of primary healthcare personnel toward living donation and the psychosocial variables that affect this attitude.METHODSA random sample was taken of 428 primary healthcare employees in 32 healthcare centers (October 2002 and October 2003). The sample was stratified by job category and geographical location. Attitude was evaluated using a validated questionnaire that was completed anonymously and was self‐administered.RESULTSAttitudes toward living donation are favorable in 90% and 88% of respondents to kidney and liver donation respectively, although these percentages fall to only 18% and 17% if the donation is not related. This positive attitude is related to the following variables: (1) a favorable attitude toward deceased‐donor donation; (2) discussion of the subject within the family or with the respondent's partner; (3) having attended to a transplant patient; (4) a respondent's belief that he or she might need a transplant one day and (5) a willingness to receive a living organ if one were needed in the future, and (6) a relationship has also been found between a favorable attitude and a willingness to receive a living organ from a relative (p .000).CONCLUSIONPrimary healthcare personnel have a favorable attitude toward related living donation and there are no differences in attitude according to the type of organ. Attitude is influenced by variables that are closely related to a respondent's willingness to receive a living donated organ if one were needed and having discussed the subject within the family.

ÖZETBu çalışmanın amacı, sınıf öğretmenlerinin organ bağışına yönelik tutumlarını incelemektir. Betimsel bir niteliğe sahip olan bu çalışmada tarama modeli kullanılmıştır. Bu amaçla Ardahan ilinde görev yapan 93 sınıf öğretmenine, bir grup demografik sorular ile birlikte organ bağışı tutum ölçeği uygulanmıştır. Araştırma bulgularından elde edilen sonuçlar incelendiğinde, sınıf öğretmenlerinin organ bağışı hakkında olumlu bir tutuma sahip oldukları sonucu elde edilmiştir. Öğretmenlerin organ bağışına yönelik tutumlarının demografik değişkenler açısından değişimi incelendiğinde ise, öğretmenlerin cinsiyet ve ailelerinin yaşadığı yer değişkenleri ile organ bağışı tutumları arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir farklılık bulunmadığı sonucu elde edilirken, yaş, hizmet yılı ve bilgi edinme kaynağı değişkenleri ile organ bağışı tutumları arasında istatistiki olarak anlamlı bir fark olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Öğretmenlerin yaşları ile organ bağışı tutumları arasında bulunduğu tespit edilen istatistiki farkın ise 25 yaş altı öğretmenler ile 26-35 yaş aralığında yer alan öğretmenlerden kaynaklandığı, hizmet yılı değişkeni ile organ bağışı arasında bulunduğu tespit edilen istatistiki farkın ise 1 yılın altında ve 6-10 arasında hizmet süresine sahip öğretmenlerden kaynaklandığı, bilgi edinme kaynağı ile organ bağışı arasında bulunduğu tespit edilen istatistiki farkın ise yazılı basın ve görsel medyayı takip eden öğretmenlerden kaynaklandığı sonucu elde edilmiştir. Elde edilen bu sonuçlara göre, öğretmenlerin yaşları ile hizmet yılına ait verilerin birbirini destekler nitelikte olduğu ve öğretmenlerin organ bağışı konusunda olumlu tutum sergilemelerinde kitle iletişim araçlarından görsel medya ve yazılı basının etkili olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
