醫護與非醫護科系大學生對器官捐贈的知識與態度之研究

本研究旨在瞭解醫護與非醫護科系大學生對器官捐贈的知識、態度之現況，以及不同背景變項的大學生在器官捐贈知識與態度的差異情況，作為未來規劃器官捐贈的教育活動與課程內容之參考。本研究以全國大學院校日間部的學生為母群。將研究對象分為醫護與非醫護相關科系大學生，以比例機率抽樣(pps)的方式，抽取醫護與非醫護大學生共計542位學生為研究樣本進行調查。研究結果發現，醫護與非醫護大學生對器官捐贈行為的知識程度皆在中等水準之上，且其對器官捐贈態度皆趨正向;部分背景變項與大學生的器官捐贈知識與態度有關;醫護學生對器官捐贈行為的知識高於非醫護學生;在器官捐贈態度方面，醫護與非醫護科系大學生之間則無顯著差異。本研究並根據研究結果，提出規劃器官捐贈教育活動以及後續研究之建議。

This article aims at understanding the current situation of the knowledge of and attitudes towards the issue of organ donation of university students in healthcare and non-healthcare departments, and the differences of the knowledge of and attitudes towards the issue of organ donation among the university students of different background variables. This study selects the students of day divisions of universities as the population, and uses proportional probability sampling (pps) to extract a total of 542 students in healthcare and non-healthcare departments as the samples to conduct the investigation. It can be found from the result that the knowledge of organ donation behaviors of the students in healthcare and non-healthcare departments can reach above the medium level, and their attitudes towards the issue of organ donation tend to be positive. Partly background variables are relevant to the knowledge of and attitudes towards the issue of organ donation of undergraduate students, and the knowledge of the university students of healthcare departments is higher than the ones of the students in non-healthcare departments. With regard to the attitudes towards the issue of organ donation, there is no significant difference between the students in healthcare and non-healthcare departments. This study thus proposes the recommendations for planning of educational activities of organ donation as well as for the further studies according to the result.
