چکیده
s of Award-Winning Posters, 19th Annual Health Sciences Poster Conference, Faculty of Medicine, Health Sciences Centre, Kuwait University, Kuwait, May 6–8, 2014 mentioned about health complications after organ donations (77 vs. 67%, p = 0.011) and a fear of the operation itself (83 vs. 69%, p < 0.001). In a multiple logistic regression analysis, female gender (OR = 1.7; 95% CI = 1.2, 2.4), and an educational level of bachelor’s degree or higher (OR = 2.6, 95% CI = 1.7, 3.9) were significant predictors of the knowledge about organ donation. Conclusions: In this study, females and people with bachelor’s degree or a higher educational level were more knowledgeable about organ donation. Acceptance of organ donation was not correlated with socio-demographic factors; however, the willingness to donate organs was higher among people with higher educational level. Fear of the operation itself, health complications, and lack of proper knowledge were the most common perceived barriers of organ donation.
