Abstract

Background: Providing an organ for donation is a major problem worldwide and nurses play an important role in facilitating the process of organ donation. This study is aimed at investigating the knowledge, attitude, and performance of nurses working in the ICU, CCU, and emergency wards regarding organ donation.

Methods: In this descriptive-analytical study, 185 nurses working in ICU, CCU, and emergency wards were studied through systematic random sampling. The data collection was done by a self-administered questionnaire.

Results: The mean knowledge of nurses was 8.9 ± 1.4 out of 10. There was a significant relationship between knowledge of nurses regarding donation and religion and having organ donation card (P < 0.001). The mean attitude of nurses was 7.8 ± 2.2 out of 8. The variables, including "having a donation card and marriage," were associated with attitude of nurses toward organ donation. The mean performance of nurses was 0.4 ± 0.7 out of 3. There was a significant relationship between performance of nurses and having a donation card (P < 0.001). Knowledge was the strongest predictor of nurses' performance (P < 0.01).

Conclusion: The studied nurses showed sufficient knowledge and favorable attitude toward organ donation; however, they had poor performance. It is suggested to hold training courses to improve performance of nurses. The revision of the nursing students' curriculum as future nurses should also be considered.

伊朗克尔曼沙阿ICU、CCU和急诊室护士关于器官捐献的知识、态度和表现

背景:提供器官捐献是世界范围内的一个重大问题，护士在促进器官捐献过程中发挥着重要作用。本研究旨在调查ICU、CCU及急诊科护士对器官捐献的知识、态度及表现。方法:采用系统随机抽样的方法，对185名ICU、CCU、急诊科护士进行描述性分析研究。数据收集是通过一份自我管理的问卷来完成的。结果:护理人员的平均知识水平为8.9±1.4分(满分10分)。护士对器官捐献和宗教信仰的了解程度与持有器官捐献卡有显著相关(P < 0.001)。护士的平均态度为7.8±2.2(满分8分)。“是否有器官捐献卡和婚姻”等变量与护士对器官捐献的态度有关。护士的平均表现为0.4±0.7(满分3分)。护士的绩效与是否有捐赠卡有显著关系(P < 0.001)。知识是影响护士工作表现的最强预测因子(P < 0.01)。结论:受访护士对器官捐献有充分的认识和良好的态度;然而，他们表现不佳。建议举办培训课程，提高护士的工作绩效。护理专业学生作为未来护士的课程设置也应予以考虑。
