Bu calismanin amaci hedef grupta organ bagisi ve nakli konusunda bilgi duzeyinin artirilmasi, yanlis ya da eksik bilgilerin giderilmesi ve bu konuda farkindaligi artirmak icin yapilan egitimin etkinliginin incelenmesidir. Bu arastirma organ bagisi ve nakli egitiminin etkinligini saptamayi amaclayan mudahale tipinde epidemiyolojik bir calismadir. Bu calisma 2016 yilinda Kasim-Aralik aylarinda ve 2017 yili Nisan ayinda Canakkale Belediyesi’ne ait Barbaros, Troia ve Esenler Sosyal Yasam Merkezleri’nde yurutuldu. Sosyal yasam evlerinde gunluk aktivitelere katilan bireylerden calismaya katilmaya gonullu olanlar calismaya dâhil edildi. Katilimcilara organ bagisi ve nakli konusunda egitim verildi. Bu calismada katilimcilar (n=55) on test, son test ve tekrar test uygulanarak degerlendirildi. Calisma grubunun tamami kadindi. ‘Beyin olumu gerceklesen biri tekrar hayata donebilir mi?’ sorusuna on testte katilimcilarin %55,8’i, son testte ve tekrar testte %84,6’si hayir cevabi verdi. Bu fark istatistiksel olarak anlamliydi (p=0.0001). Katilimcilarin on testte %38,5’i, son testte %59,6’si ve tekrar testte %55,8’i organ bagisinda bulunmayi dusundugunu belirtti ve bu fark istatistiksel olarak anlamliydi (p=0.004). Calismamizin sonuclari, egitim oncesi bilgi ve tutum durumlarinin egitim sonrasinda iyilestirilebilmesine ragmen 3 ay sonra yapilan tekrar testte bilgi ve tutum durumlarinda gerileme oldugunu gostermektedir. Bireylerin tekrarlayici egitimler ve bilgilendirme toplantilari ile bu konudaki duyarliliklarinin artirilmasi gerekmektedir.

This research aiming to identify the efficacy of organ donation and transplantation training is an interventional-type epidemiological study. This study was completed in November-December of 2016 and April of 2017 in the Barbaros, Troia and Esenler Social Life Centers belonging to Canakkale Municipality. Individuals in daily activities in the social life centers who volunteered to participate were included in the study. Participants were given training on organ donation and transplantation. Participants (n=52) were assessed pre-test, post-test and repeat test in the present study. The whole study group were women. The rate giving the answer no to the question “Can someone who is brain dead return to life?” was 55.8% on the pre-test, while it was 84.6% on the post-test and repeat test and this difference was statistically significant(p=0.0001). Of participants, 38.5% stated they would consider organ donation on the pre-test, 59.6% said they would on the post-test and 55.8% said they would on the repeat test and this difference was statistically significant(p=0.004). The result of our study is that though knowledge and attitude levels before training were improved after training, repeated test completed 3 months later showed regressions in knowledge and attitude levels. Repeated training and information meetings are required to increase the sensitivity of the individual about this topic.
