DETERMINING THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN SPIRITUAL WELL-BEING AND ORGAN DONATION ATTITUDE
Abstract
Aim: The aim of this descriptive study is to determine the relationship between the spiritual well-being and organ donation attitude among Turkish society.
Materials and Methods: The study sample is consisted of 569 adults who were above 18 years of age and voluntarily accepted to participate in the study. The data were collected via internet using Three-Factor Spiritual Well-Being Scale and Organ Donation Attitude Scale between October 2020 and January 2021.
Results: In this study, 66.3% of the participants were female. The median age of the participants was 21 years. It was found that 92.4% of the participants had not signed an organ donor card. The mean score of the Spiritual Well-Being Scale and the sub-dimensions of the scale, transcendence, harmony with nature and anomie were determined as 112.9±18.6 - 61.1±13.6 - 29.3±6.0 and 22.4±7.0, respectively. The mean positive attitude towards organ donation score of participants is 46.0±23.7 and the mean negative attitude score is 73.6±26.3. Participants’ total Three-Factor Spiritual Well-Being Scale scores showed significant positive correlations with negative attitudes towards organ donation (r:0.298 p:0.0001) and negative correlations with positive attitudes towards organ donation (r:-0.177 p:0.0001).
Conclusion: In conclusion, as the spiritual well-being levels of the participants increase, their voluntary attitude towards organ donation decreases. It is recommended to plan campaigns and training programs for different spiritual beliefs to encourage individuals to donate organs.
