Kronik böbrek hastaları ve sağlıklı bireylerin organ bağışına yönelik tutumları ve ilişkili faktörler

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışma öncelikle bireylerin organ bağışına yönelik tutumları ve ilgili faktörleri araştırmayı amaçlamıştır. Çalışmanın bir diğer amacı, organ yetmezliği olan riskli grup ile sağlıklı katılımcılar arasındaki organ bağışı bilgi ve tutum düzeylerini karşılaştırmaktır Gereç ve Yöntem: Bu kesitsel çalışma bir üniversite hastanesinde Mart-Ekim 2019 tarihleri arasında yürütüldü. Çalışmaya 88 sağlıklı (grup 1) ve 56 kronik böbrek hastalığı (KBH) olan (grup 2) bireyler dahil edildi. Katılımcıların organ bağışına yönelik tutumları Organ Bağışı Tutum Ölçeğinin Türkçe versiyonu ile elde edildi. Bulgular: Çalışmaya toplam 144 katılımcı (56 KBH birey, 88 sağlıklı birey) dahil edildi. Ölçeğin alt boyutlarından tüm katılımcıların puanları sırasıyla humanity and moral conviction / beliefs (HMC): 90.70 ± 20.36, fears of medical neglect (FMN): 27.38 ± 11.52 ve fears of bodily mutilation (FBM): 32.03 ± 10.67 idi. Grup 2’de ki katılımcıların insanlık ve ahlaki inanç / inançlar (HMC) boyut puanları ve tıbbi ihmal korkusu (FMN) skorları grup 1'den yüksekti. Organ bağışı tutumlarını etkileyen faktörler cinsiyet ve eğitim düzeyidir. Sonuç: Elde ettiğimiz veriler katılımcıların organ bağışı konusundaki istekliliklerinin ve farkındalıklarının düşük olduğunu göstermiştir. Organ bağışı pozitif tutum puanları kadınlarda ve eğitim düzeyi yüksek olanlarda daha yüksek saptandı. Elde ettiğimiz verilere dayanarak potansiyel organ bağışçılarının sayısını artırmak için organ nakli konusunda empati ve bilgi düzeyini arttıracak eğitim programlarının geliştirilmesini önerilebilir.

Attitudes and related factors toward organ donation among relatives of chronic kidney disease patients and healthy individuals

Abstract

Purpose: The current study firstly aimed at investigating organ donation and related factors. Another aim of the study is to compare the knowledge and attitude levels of organ donation between the risky population with organ failure and healthy participants. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional survey was conducted in the tertiary university hospital between March-October 2019. A total of 88 healthy participants (group 1) and 56 participants with chronic kidney disease ((CKD) (group 2)) were included in the study. Organ donation attitudes of participants were measured with Organ Donation Attitudes Scales Turkish Version questionnaire. Result: A total of 144 participants (56 were CKD patients and 88 healthy participants) were included in the study. The scores of all participants from the sub-dimensions of the scale were humanity and moral conviction / beliefs (HMC): 90.70±20.36, fears of medical neglect (FMN): 27.38±11.52 and fears of bodily mutilation (FBM): 32.03±10.67, respectively. Group 2 participants’ humanity and moral conviction/beliefs (HMC) dimension scores were higher than group 1. Group 2 participants’ fears of medical neglect (FMN) score was higher than group 1. Factors affecting organ donation attitudes were gender and education level. Conclusion: Organ donation positive attitude scores were higher in women and those with higher education levels. Our results may suggest developing empathy and education programs on organ transplantation, as a means for increasing the number of potential organ donors.
