Abstract

Abstract
Objective: This study was conducted to determine the attitudes of intensive care nurses about organ donation.
Methods: This is a descriptive research, and was carried out in multi-center using the online google questionnaire between 01.06.2021 and 30.07.2021. 105 nurses participated in the study. The data of the research were collected with the "Nurse Information Form" and "Organ Donation Attitude Scale". Data were evaluated with descriptive statistics, chi-square or Fisher test, student t test, Mann-Whitney U test, and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA).
Results: The mean age of the nurses was 28.22±6.6, the total professional experience was 6.11±6.57, the total intensive care experience was 3.54±4.58, and the average weekly working hours were 53.23±14.10. Most of the participants were female (80%), undergraduate (68.6%), single (69.5%), shift worker (81.9%), and working in the medical intensive care unit (79.1%). The proportion of nurses (22.9%) who stated that they had received education on organ donation and had an organ donation card (18.1%) was found to be low. According to the organ donation attitude scale of nurses, positive attitude score was high (106.36±13.9) and negative attitude score was low (43.53±19.40). It was seen that there was no statistically significant difference (p>0.05) between the nurses' attitudes towards organ donation and age, total professional and intensive care experience, average weekly working hours, gender, marital status, having a child, working order, status, intensive care unit, organ donation education and organ donation card status.
Conclusion: It was determined that the volunteer attitudes of intensive care nurses about organ donation were strong, but those who had organ donation cards were very few.

Abstract

ÖZ
Amaç: Bu çalışma, yoğun bakım hemşirelerinin organ bağışı hakkındaki tutumlarını belirlemek amacıyla yapılmıştır.
Yöntem: Araştırma tanımlayıcı nitelikte olup, 04.06.2021 ile 30.07.2021 tarihleri arasında, çevrimiçi google anket formu kullanılarak çok merkezli yürütülmüştür. Araştırmaya 105 hemşire katılmıştır. Araştırmanın verileri “Hemşire Tanıtım Formu” ve “Organ Bağışı Tutum Ölçeği” ile toplanmıştır. Veriler, tanımlayıcı istatistikler, ki kare veya Fisher testi, student t testi, Mann-Whitney U testi ve tek yönlü varyans analizi (ANOVA) ile değerlendirilmiştir.
Bulgular: Hemşirelerin yaş ortalaması 28,22±6,6, toplam mesleki deneyim 6,11±6,57, toplam yoğun bakım deneyimi 3,54±4,58 ve haftalık ortalama çalışma saati 53,23±14,10 olarak belirlendi. Katılımcıların çoğu kadın (%80), lisans mezunu (%68,6), bekar (%69,5), vardiyalı çalışan (%81,9), dahili yoğun bakım ünitesinde çalışandı (%79,1). Organ bağışı ile ilgili eğitim aldığını (%22,9) ve organ bağışı kartı olduğunu ifade eden (%18,1) hemşire oranı düşük bulundu. Hemşirelerin Organ bağışı tutum ölçeği’ne göre pozitif tutum skoru yüksek (106,36±13,9), negatif tutum skoru ise (43,53±19,40) düşüktü. Hemşirelerin organ bağışı tutumları ile yaş, toplam mesleki ve yoğun bakım deneyim, haftalık ortalama çalışma saati, cinsiyet, medeni durum, çocuk sahibi olma, çalışma düzeni, statü, çalıştığı yoğun bakım ünitesi, organ bağışı eğitimi alma durumu ve organ bağışı kartı bulunma durumları arasında istatiksel olarak anlamda bir farklılık olmadığı görüldü (p>0,05).
Sonuç: Yoğun bakım hemşirelerinin organ bağışı konusunda gönüllü tutumlarının güçlü olduğu fakat organ bağışı kartı olanların çok az olduğu belirlendi.
