Abstract

Bireylerin organ bağışı konusundaki tutum ve davranışlarını dini inanışları etkilemektedir. Bu çalışmada İlahiyat Fakültesi öğrencilerinin organ bağışı konusundaki bilgi, tutum ve davranışlarını incelemek amaçlanmıştır. İlahiyat Fakültesi öğrencilerinde yapılan bu çalışma kesitsel bir çalışmadır. Çalışmada örneklem seçilmemiştir. Veri toplama aracı olarak oluşturulan anketlerin ilk bölümünde sosyo-demografik sorular, ikinci bölümde ise literatür bilgisi doğrultusunda hazırlanan organ bağışı bilgi, tutum ve davranışlarını ölçen sorular yer almaktadır. İstatistiksel analizlerde; Ki-Kare testi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmaya katılan öğrencilerin %0,7’si organ bağışında bulunduğunu belirtmiştir. Öğrencilerin %56,4’ü dini açıdan organ bağışını uygun bulduğunu, %38,6’sı şimdiye kadar hiç gündemine gelmediği için organ bağışında bulunmadığını ifade etmiştir. Öğrencilerin organ bağışı bilgi durumuna göre dini açıdan organ bağışını uygun görme durumu karşılaştırıldığında; organ bağışı bilgisi olan öğrencilerin dini açıdan organ bağışının uygun görülme oranı %65,8, bilgisi olmayan öğrencilerin oranı ise %49,5’tir (p=0,001). Organ bağışı bilgileri olduğunu ifade eden öğrenciler organ bağışının dini açıdan uygun gördüklerini de belirtmiştir. Yapılacak olan eğitimlerle, geleceğin din görevlilerinin organ bağışı bilgi düzeyinin ve farkındalığının arttırılması sonucunda toplumun da organ bağışı düzeyini artırması hedeflenmelidir.

ATTITUDES AND BEHAVIOURS OF THEOLOGY FACULTY STUDENTS ON ORGAN DONATION

Abstract

Religious beliefs of individuals affect their attitudes and behaviours regarding organ donation. The aim of this study is to determine the knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours of Theology faculty students about organ donation. The study is a cross-sectional study carried out on students in the Faculty of Theology. Sample selection was not performed in this study. The first part of the questionnaires, which we created as data collection tools, comprised socio-demographic questions, whereas the second part comprised questions, prepared according to the literature that measures the knowledge, attitudes and behaviours on organ donation. The Chi-Square test was used for statistical analysis. 0.7% of the students participating in the study stated that they were organ donors, whereas 56.4% said that they considered organ donation as religiously appropriate behaviour, and 38.6% said that they have not become organ donors before because the subject of organ donation was not brought to their attention previously. A comparison of whether the students viewed organ donation as religiously appropriate behaviour with the students’ level of knowledge on organ donation revealed to be 65.8% among students with knowledge on organ donation and 49.5% among students who lacked knowledge of organ donation (p=0.001). Students with knowledge of organ donation also said that they viewed organ donation as religiously appropriate behaviour. Through training activities, the aim should be to increase the level of knowledge and awareness on organ donation of future religious staff and to thereby increase the level of organ donation in society.
