ABSTRACT

Introduction: Donations made after brain death continue to be the most important source of organs for transplantation. Aim: This study aims to evaluate the effect of video-supported teaching methods on the attitudes of final-year nursing students towards postmortem organ donation. Materials and Methods: This study is a pre-test, post-test controlled quasi-experimental research. The study was conducted with 60 volunteer nursing students during the 2024-2025 academic year. Data were collected using the Student Information Form and the Post-Mortem Organ Donation Attitude Scale (PODAS) and analyzed using t-tests and one-way ANOVA. Results: The study revealed a significant difference in the PODAS scores of students who expressed a willingness to donate organs after death before and after the training (t = 3.698, p ‹ 0.001). The paired samples t-test conducted to determine the effect of the training on students’ attitudes towards organ donation revealed a statistically significant difference between pre-training (X̄ = 3.97 ± 0.37) and post-training (X̄ = 4.11 ± 0.36) PODAS scores before and after the education (X̄ = 3.97 ± 0.37) and after the education (X̄ = 4.11 ± 0.36). Conclusion: The study found that the video-supported teaching method employed led to positive outcomes, particularly in reducing negative attitudes and increasing family approval and overall attitudes towards organ donation.
