Abstract
Background: The majority of patients on the organ transplant list died while waiting and hoping to get a new organ. Thus, organ donation was necessary to reduce the gap between the patients who need transplantation and the availability of eligible donors.Aim: To assess the level of knowledge, attitude and practice towards organ donation among nursing undergraduate students from FMHS UNIMAS.Methodology: Descriptive cross-sectional quantitative study was conducted among 132 randomly selected nursing undergraduate students from FMHS UNIMAS. A semi�structured questionnaire comprised of four sections (socio-demographics data, knowledge, attitude and practice) was used to collect data. The data was entered and analysed using IBM SPSS Statistic 26.0 version. Results: 18.9% of nursing students had good knowledge, 29.5% of nursing students had fair knowledge, and 51.5% of nursing students had poor knowledge towards organ donation. The nursing students had equal distribution level of attitude as 50% of them had either negative or positive attitude towards organ donation. 68.9% of nursing students had bad practice, while 31.1% of nursing students had good practice towards organ donation. There was no statistically significant relationship between knowledge and attitude (r=.037, p=.672) or knowledge and practice (r=-.013, p=.735), but there was a statistically significant relationship between attitude and practice towards organ donation (r=.396, p=.000). Conclusion: Overall, the nursing undergraduate students from FMHS UNIMAS were found to have poor knowledge, equal distribution level of attitude either negative or positive and bad practice habits towards organ donation. Therefore, necessary educational interventions were needed to consolidate their knowledge, attitude and practice towards organ donation.
