INVESTIGATION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HEALTH EDUCATION STUDENTS' ATTITUDES TO ORGAN DONATION AND THEIR KNOWLEDGE LEVELS

Year 2024, Volume: 4 Issue: 3, 28 - 38, 31.12.2024

Abstract

Objective: This research was conducted to evaluate the knowledge and attitudes of health education students towards organ donation.
Method: The research was conducted in a descriptive-correlational type. It was conducted on students studying in the departments of nursing, nutrition and dietetics at a university located in the east of Turkey. Data were collected in September 2023. The sample of the study consisted of 407 individuals. Data were collected using the Introductory Information Form, Organ Tissue Donation And Transplantation Knowledge Scale (ODTKS), and the Attitudes towards Organ Donation Scale.
Results: positive and significant correlation was found between the median of the Individuals' Organ Tissue Donation And Transplantation Knowledge Scale and the total mean score of the Attitudes towards Organ Donation Scale (p<0.05). Positive and significant correlation was found between age and the total mean score of the Attitudes towards Organ Donation Scale (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Positive and significant relationship was found between the individuals' level of organ donation knowledge and their attitudes towards organ donation.

SAĞLIK EĞİTİMİ ALAN ÖĞRENCİLERİN ORGAN BAĞIŞINA YÖNELİK TUTUMLARI İLE BİLGİ DÜZEYLERİ ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİNİN İNCELENMESİ

Year 2024, Volume: 4 Issue: 3, 28 - 38, 31.12.2024

Abstract

Amaç: Bu araştırma, sağlık eğitimi alan öğrencilerinin organ bağışına yönelik bilgi ve tutumlarını değerlendirmek amacıyla yapılmıştır.
Yöntem: Araştırma tanımlayıcı-ilişkisel tipte gerçekleştirilmiştir. Türkiye'nin doğusunda yer alan bir üniversitenin hemşirelik, beslenme ve diyetetik bölümlerinde öğrenim gören öğrenciler üzerinde yürütülmüştür. Veriler Eylül 2023'te toplanmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemi 407 kişiden oluşmaktadır. Veriler Tanıtıcı Bilgi Formu, Organ Doku Bağışı ve Transplantasyon Bilgi Ölçeği (ODTKS) ve Organ Bağışına Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği kullanılarak toplanmıştır.
Bulgular: Bireylerin Organ Doku Bağışı ve Nakli Bilgi Ölçeği ortancası ile Organ Bağışına Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği toplam puan ortalaması arasında pozitif ve anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur (p<0,05). Yaş ile Organ Bağışına Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği toplam puan ortalaması arasında pozitif ve anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur (p<0,05).
Sonuç: Bireylerin organ bağışı bilgi düzeyleri ile organ bağışına yönelik tutumları arasında pozitif ve anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur.
