Abstract

Organ donation is now a considerable medical therapy for people whose organs have failed, but it has many medical, ethical, and social aspects to consider when donating organs. Healthcare professionals, especially nurses, play an essential role in creating a positive environment for organ and tissue donation. The researchers wanted to find out how effective an education program on organ and tissue donation is at increasing the knowledge of nurses within selected hospitals in Jaipur. Therefore, they used a quasi-experimental study design and recruited 300 nurses via a non-probability convenient sampling method. These nurses were divided into an interventional group who received the structured education program and a control group who did not receive any intervention. Data was collected at the start and end of the program using a validated and reliable structured knowledge assessment. The findings showed that the average pre-test score in the interventional group was 29.38 (Standard Deviation = 4.79) which significantly increased to an average post-test score of 42.48 (Standard Deviation = 3.03) after the intervention. The difference between the two groups was found to be statistically significant with a p-value of < 0.001. This study indicates a structured education programme that increased the level of knowledge held by nurses about Organ & Tissue Donation. The recommendation was to broaden similar educational interventions and, therefore, strengthen organ donation practices on a larger scale and generalise the results obtained in this study.
