dc.description.abstractObjective: To determine the attitudes of nurses, who play a key role in informing individuals about organ donation, towards organ transplantation and donation, and the factors affecting it. Mate- rial and Methods: The population of the descriptive and cross-sec- tional study consisted of 430 nurses working in a university hospital between March 2021-August 2021. Sample selection was not made, and 356 nurses who agreed to participate in the study constituted the sample of the study. Data were collected with an introductory infor- mation form and Organ Donation Attitude Scale.Results: In the study, the Benevolence and Moral Values sub-dimension mean score of the nurses was determined as 102.79±17.78 in the 18-34 age range (p=0.003). It was found that the benevolence and moral values sub-di- mension mean score of the nurses working in the emergency depart- ment was 106.28±15.05, and the medical neglect sub-dimension mean score of the intensive care nurses was 26.77±6.72 (p<0.005). The mean score of the medical neglect sub-dimension of nurses with 6-10 years of employment was determined as 30.96±8.52 and the mean score of fear of bodily injury was 31.71±8.45. Conclusion: This study showed that nurses’ attitudes toward organ donation were positive. It suggests that nurses with negative attitudes individually may not be sufficiently defensive about organ donation. It is foreseen that it will be beneficial to inform nursing professionals about organ donation by giving in-ser- vice training.
