Despite global advancements in organ transplantation, organ donation remains a critical healthcare challenge, particularly in many developing countries. Efforts to establish organized donation systems are gradually emerging. Hospital workers play a vital role in promoting awareness and influencing public acceptance. Understanding their knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions toward organ donation is especially important in countries where transplantation programs are still developing, as these factors can significantly influence the success and sustainability of such initiatives.
This is a descriptive cross-sectional study which aimed to assess the knowledge, attitude, and perception of hospital workers towards organ donation and transplantation. Data were gathered using a researcher-developed, structured questionnaire designed to assess demographic characteristics, as well as general and legal knowledge, attitudes, and perceptions regarding organ donation. Data analysis employed descriptive statistics, chi-square tests, and correlation coefficients to determine associations between key variables.
A total of 329 hospital workers from various departments were surveyed. Gender showed no significant difference in attitude and perception; however, knowledge levels differed significantly (p = 0.023), with females more likely to demonstrate moderate to high knowledge compared to males. Educational attainment was significantly associated with all three domains—knowledge (p < 0.001), attitude (p = 0.003), and perception (p = 0.040)—with respondents holding postgraduate degrees scoring higher than those with baccalaureate degrees. Medical doctors exhibited higher levels of knowledge (p < 0.001) but showed no significant difference in attitude (p = 0.094) or perception (p = 0.358) compared to other professions.
Knowledge and educational attainment are key drivers of positive attitudes towards organ donation among hospital workers. Perception is shaped by broader cultural and psychosocial factors. Targeted educational and awareness programs are recommended to bridge knowledge gaps, strengthen attitudes, and enhance advocacy for organ donation in healthcare settings.
