Abstract

Purpose: Despite significant progress in organ donation programs worldwide, there remains an imbalance between the global demand for and availability of organs. While healthcare professionals play an important role in organ donation, operating room nurses, due to their direct involvement in transplant-related procedures such as organ retrieval and transplantation surgery, play an important role, yet their perspectives remain underexplored. This study aims to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and willingness towards organ donation among nurses in the operating room.

Patients and methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted from April 15, 2024, to April 25, 2024, at four tertiary hospitals in Sichuan Province, all of which are accredited for organ transplantation procedures. Demographic data, knowledge, attitudes, and willingness towards organ donation were collected from operating theatre nurses through a questionnaire. Using snowball sampling via WeChat, we disseminated an electronic questionnaire to operating room nurses across the selected hospitals. Adequate knowledge was defined as achieving 70% or more of the maximum possible score.

Results: A total of 502 nurses were included in the study, of whom 442 (88.05%) were female. Furthermore, 230 (45.82%) of the participants had been employed in the field for over a decade. The mean knowledge and attitude scores were 7.57/10 and 105.32/154, respectively. While only 16.14% were unwilling to donate, nearly half (49.6%) remained undecided, respectively. Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that the total attitude score (OR = 1.037, 95% CI: [1.024-1.050], P < 0.001), participation in voluntary blood donation (OR = 1.564, 95% CI: [1.013-2.415], P = 0.044), registration for organ donation (OR = 6.056, 95% CI: [1.514-24.225], P = 0.011), and discussions about organ donation with family members (OR = 2.898, 95% CI: [1.818-4.621], P < 0.001) were independently associated with a willingness to donate.

Conclusion: Nurses in operating room had adequate knowledge and neutral attitudes, particularly concerning family consent and concerns over organ allocation towards organ donation.

四川省手术室护士器官捐献的知识、态度和意愿:一项横断面研究
目的:尽管世界各地的器官捐赠计划取得了重大进展,但全球器官需求和可用性之间仍然存在不平衡。虽然医疗保健专业人员在器官捐赠中发挥着重要作用,但手术室护士由于直接参与器官摘取和移植手术等与移植相关的程序,也发挥着重要作用,但她们的观点仍未得到充分探讨。本研究旨在了解手术室护士对器官捐献的认知、态度及意愿。患者和方法:横断面研究于2024年4月15日至2024年4月25日在四川省四家三级医院进行,这些医院均具有器官移植手术资质。通过问卷调查收集手术室护士对器官捐献的人口学资料、知识、态度和意愿。通过微信的滚雪球抽样,我们向选定医院的手术室护士分发了一份电子问卷。足够的知识被定义为达到最高可能分数的70%或更多。结果:共纳入502名护士,其中女性442人,占88.05%。此外,230人(45.82%)在该领域工作超过十年。平均知识和态度得分分别为7.57/10和105.32/154。虽然只有16.14%的人不愿意捐赠,但分别有近一半(49.6%)的人仍未决定。多元逻辑回归分析显示,总的态度得分(OR = 1.037, 95% CI: [1.024 - -1.050], P < 0.001),参与自愿献血(OR = 1.564, 95% CI: [1.013 - -2.415], P = 0.044),登记器官捐献(OR = 6.056, 95% CI: [1.514 - -24.225], P = 0.011),和与家人讨论器官捐赠(OR = 2.898, 95% CI: [1.818 - -4.621], P < 0.001)分别与有关捐赠的意愿。结论:手术室护士对器官捐献有足够的知识和中立的态度,特别是对家属的同意和器官分配的担忧。

期刊介绍: The Journal of Multidisciplinary Healthcare (JMDH) aims to represent and publish research in healthcare areas delivered by practitioners of different disciplines. This includes studies and reviews conducted by multidisciplinary teams as well as research which evaluates or reports the results or conduct of such teams or healthcare processes in general. The journal covers a very wide range of areas and we welcome submissions from practitioners at all levels and from all over the world. Good healthcare is not bounded by person, place or time and the journal aims to reflect this. The JMDH is published as an open-access journal to allow this wide range of practical, patient relevant research to be immediately available to practitioners who can access and use it immediately upon publication.
