Abstract
This study is convergence study to identify the relationships among attitude toward death(ATD), spiritual well-being(SW) and awareness about organ donation(AAOD). The survey was performed on 214 nursing students in one university. Data was collected using a structured questionnaires and analysed with PASW 20.0. Study findings revealed that AAOD has a significant correlation with ATD and SW. ATD(${\beta}=-.159$), SW(${\beta}=.132$), idea about brain death's organ donation(${\beta}=.314$), and major satisfaction(${\beta}=.134$) about AAOD were most significant predictive variables. These variables accounted for 20.5% of the variance in AAOD. The findings indicate the necessity of developing educational programs to enhance nursing students's ATD and SW for increasing positive AAOD and further rate of organ donation, and follow-up study.
