Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the knowledge and attitude about organ donation and organ
transplantation among the organ donation candidates.
Methods: The subjects were 91 candidates who are enrolled in organ transplantation center in general hospitals for organ donation or transplantation. The knowledge and attitude instruments about organ donation and transplantation by Matten, et al. (1991) were utilized. The collected data were analyzed by SPSS/WIN 14.0: descriptive statistics, t-test, ANOVA, Scheffe? test and Pearson correlation coefficient.
Results: The mean score of knowledge was relatively low (9.61±3.47, out of 21.0). The mean score of attitude was relatively high (4.24±0.97, of max score 5). There was significant difference (p<.05) in knowledge according to
academic career, registered period as a candidate, the intention to participate in an organ donation education. There was
significant difference (p<.05) in attitude according to occupation, family’s consent, and recommendation to family. The
relationship between knowledge and attitude was not stylistically significant (r=.043, p=.683).
Conclusion: These findings suggest that nurses should develop educational programs to increase knowledge and positive attitude toward the organ donation and transplantation.
