Organ and Tissue Donation Knowledge Among Intensive Care Unit Nurses
Transplantation Proceedings, 07/02/09

Shabanzadeh AP et al. - The legal definition of death and the medical definition of death should be uniform in the view of society. To make all medical staff favor cadaveric renal transplantation, they should agree on a definition of death. It was observed that the relatively high rate of misinterpretation of the brain-death concept among respondents negatively affected nurses attitudes toward cadaveric renal transplant. It was concluded that the 'concept of brain death' and the "preferences of transplant over other treatment modalities" are the two items that need further attention in educational programs for nurses.
