Abstract
Abstract Transplant education has been historically unstructured and inconsistent. The purpose of this study was to measure nursing students’ knowledge and attitudes toward organ donation, allocation, and preparation for practice using a modified version of the Organ Donation Attitude Questionnaire II-Student Version. Scores were low, particularly regarding brain death and organ allocation. Preparedness for practice was related to knowledge of brain death (z = 2.05, p = .04); knowledge (t = 2.24, p = .03) and attitude (t = 7.55, p < .0001) were related to signing a driver’s license. Results support including organ donation and transplant education in nursing curricula.
