CABREJOS-MONTALVO, César; MUNOZ, Katherine Ipanaqué e CASTILLO, Ana Vásquez del. Knowledge and attitudes about organ donation in students of health sciences from a national university of Lambayeque - 2019. Rev. Fac. Med. Hum. [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.4, pp.833-838. ISSN 1814-5469. http://dx.doi.org/10.25176/rfmh.v21i4.4027.
Objective:
Determine the level of knowledge and attitudes about organ donation and xenotransplantation in students from a National University of Lambayeque.
Methods:
The sampling carried out was probabilistic of a simple random type and the sample was made up of 100 university students. An observational, descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted to assess levels of knowledge and attitudes about organ donation. A survey of 20 dichotomous key questions was applied.
Results:
53 women (53.0%) and 47 (47.0%) men were interviewed. It was observed that 76% do not know about the Law on the Promotion of Solidarity Donation of Human Organs and Tissues in Peru. Likewise, 96% know the organs and tissues that can be donated, 61% of the students have talked with their family about the subject of organ donation. 76% would be willing to donate their organs or tissues after life, and 88% would donate their relatives' organs to save the life of another relative.
Conclusions:
In the Faculty of Biological Sciences of the University it was observed that the knowledge of young people about organ donation was acceptable, although certain aspects need to be clarified.
