Assess Knowledge and Attitude Regarding Organ Donation among Adolescents of Higher Secondary Students – A Literature Review.

Abstract

According to a survey, India, where 500,000 people a year die from a lack of organs, has a sizable gap between demand and donation. Healthcare experts are encouraging organ donation by educating the public and persuading donors. The lifesaving efforts of others can be considerably aided by the organ donor. The donor's organ may be given to a patient who is in urgent need of an organ transplant. The objective of this study was simple to retrieve the literature reviews and it is relevant to the topic of the study and will be useful for my future research. Quantitative research approach and Cross-Sectional design was adopted. The convenience sample technique was used to choose the 385 total participants. A face-to-face survey was used to evaluate the responders. Questions about knowledge and attitudes toward organ donation were included in the survey. According to the study's findings, 77.5% of the population was between the ages of 18 and 27. Students and women made up more than half of the responses (51.1% and 55%), respectively. Our findings show that the general public (25.8%) lacked sufficient understanding. Regarding organ donation, there was a favourable view (75.2%). A common source of information was television (27%). 29.90% of those surveyed were aware that "kidney" can be given.43.80% of the respondents were oblivious to the allowance of organ donation in their religion. More than half (57.2%) were in favor of the promotion of organ donation.
