Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the effects of organ donation education on undergraduate students' knowledge, attitude and practice will to organ donation. Methods: The study used a quasi-experimental design. A total of 164 students from K university, Seoul, Korea were recruited; 74 in the experimental group and 90 in the control group. The experimental group received an education on organ donation developed by researchers. A structured questionnaire was used to measure the student's knowledge, attitude and practice will to organ donation before and after the education. Data were analyzed using t-test, ${\chi}^2$-test, and ANCOVA with SPSS WIN 21.0 program. Results: After the intervention, we found that the scores of knowledge, knowledge of the definition of brain death, donation attitude, total scores of attitude, emotional attitude, and behavioral attitude were significantly higher in the experimental group than the those of control group. Total knowledge scores were positively correlated with subscales of the knowledge scale and all subscales of attitude toward organ donation. Conclusion: The results indicate that organ donation education is effective to enhance knowledge and attitude to organ donation in undergraduate students.

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, $Scheff{\acute{e}}$ test and Pearson correlation coefficient. Results: The mean score of knowledge was relatively low ($9.61{\pm}3.47$, out of 21.0). The mean score of attitude was relatively high ($4.24{\pm}0.97$, 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.

Purpose: This study aimed to identify factors affecting the intention to donate organs among high school students. Methods: Data were collected using a questionnaire to measure the knowledge, attitudes, and intention regarding organ donation among 382 high school students in three high schools in one city in December 2018. Data analysis using SPSS 20.0 included a chi-squared test, the Mann-Whitney U test and a logistic regression model. Results: 69.9% of the subjects responded they had intention to donate organs. The factors influencing their organ donation intention were interest in organ donation (odds ratio: OR=3.49, p<.001), knowing the meaning of brain death (OR=7.79, p<.001), acceptive attitude (OR=4.35, p<.001), and exclusive attitude (OR=0.34, p<.001). Conclusion: Organ donation intention is an important factor in the interest in, knowledge of, and positive attitude towards organ donation. High school students should be educated to improve their knowledge and positive attitude regarding organ donation to increase their intention to donate organs.

Only 2.9% of students objected to organ donation for religious reasons. There was statistically significant difference among students' attitudes, experienced blood donor group(t=17.04, p=0.000), approval on the brain death recognition group (t=21.06, p=0.000), organ donation agreement group(t=46.13, p=0.000).

Background: This retrospective study analyzed the causes of failure in the management process from the identification of brain-dead potential organ donors to actual donation in Korea over the past 5 years. Methods: Data of 8,120 potential brain deaths reported to the Korea Organ Donation Agency were used, including information received at the time of reporting, donation suitability evaluation performed by the coordinator after the report, and data obtained from interviews of hospital medical staff and the donor's family. Results: From January 2012 to December 2016, the total number of brain-dead potential organ donors in Korea was 8,120, of which 2,348 (28.9%) underwent organ procurement surgery with designated recipients. While the number of transplant donors has increased over time, the ratio of transplant donors to medically suitable brain-dead donors has decreased. The common causes of donation failure included donation refusal (27.6%), non-brain death (15.5%), and incompatible donation (11.6%); 104 potential donors (7.8%) were unable to donate their organs because they were not pronounced brain dead. Conclusion: The rate of successful organ donation may be increased by analyzing the major causes of failure in the brain-dead organ donation management process and engaging in various efforts to prevent such failures.

인터넷 시대를 맞이하여 의학과/간호학과 전공 학생을 대상으로 장기기증에 대한 의향과 등록 여부에 대해 알아보고, 이들과 관련이 있는 요인을 파악하고자 하였다. 광주지역 사립 의학전문대학원/의과대학에 재학 중인 의학과/간호학과 학생 629명을 대상으로 장기기증에 대한 의향과 등록 여부, 장기기증에 대한 지식과 태도 등에 대해 구조화된 설문지를 이용하여 자료수집하였다. 연구결과, 장기기증에 대한 의향은 72.1%가 있었고, 장기기증을 등록한 경우는 12.5%였다. 장기기증에 대한 지식점수는 $6.1{\pm}2.7$점으로 38%의 정답률을 보였고, 장기기증에 대한 태도점수는 $63.2{\pm}7.0$점이었다. 장기기증 의향에 대한 교차비는 여학생, 뇌사를 사망으로 인정하는 경우, 장기기증에 대한 태도 점수가 높을수록 통계적으로 유의하게 높았다. 또한, 장기기증을 위한 등록과는 의학전공, 장기기증에 대한 지식과 태도 점수가 높을수록 장기기증을 위한 등록에 대한 교차비가 통계적으로 유의하게 증가하였다.

본 연구는 부산시민을 대상으로 장기기증에 관련된 요인을 분석하여 장기기증에 관한 기초자료를 제공하고 나아가 본 조사로 인하여 장기기증에 관한 국민의식을 제고할 목적으로 시도되었다. 자료수집기간은 2009년 7월 14일부터 8월 31까지 47일 동안이었다. 자료의 수집방법은 설문조사로 총 2,200부를 배부하여 2,042부를 최종분석 자료로 사용하였다. 자료 분석을 위해 한글 SPSS 17.0을 사용 하였으며, 대상자의 인구사회학적인 특성은 빈도분석을 실시하였다. 대상자의 장기기증에 대한 태도는 요인분석 후 T-test 와 ANOVA 분석을 하였고, 장기기증의사에 영향을 미치는 인구사회학적 특성을 파악하기 위하여 로지스틱 회귀분석을 실시하였다. 연구의 결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 대상자 중 장기기증에 대하여 들은 경험이 있는 경우는 71.6%이었다. 둘째, 인구사회학적 특성이 장기기증의사에 미치는 영향요인으로는 성별, 본인이나 가족의 만성병 또는 불치병여부, 종교, 수용적태도요인, 배타적태도요인 그리고 권유적태도요인이었다. 이상의 결과에서 장기기증에 대한 국민들의 인식도를 높이고 사회적 공감대를 형성하기 위해서는 무엇보다도 방송과 같은 대중적인 매스미디어를 통한 지속적인 대국민 홍보활동이 중요하며, 이러한 노력을 통하여 장기기증에 대한 인식의 전환을 유도하여야 할 것이다.
