Abstract
Organ donation is the process of giving an organ or a part of an organ for the purpose of transplantation into another person. Organ donation is legal by law because the Government of India has enacted "The Transplantation of Human Organs Act 1994" Act No.42, which has allowed organ donation and legalized brain death. Even 20 years after the Human Organ Transplantation Act majority of people are not aware of organ donation. There is a chronic shortage for organs and inadequate awareness about deceased organ donation. Approximately every 10 minutes; someone is added to the national waiting list for organ transplant. Lack of proper education to the attendants of a brain dead patient, lack of awareness among general public and college students about organ donation, organ donor cards, process of organ donation, add to the superstitions and misconceptions associated with organ donation in our country and make organ donation a tedious task. It is the lack of awareness only which keeps people away from the concept of organ donation. TITLE: “A study to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge about organ donation among college students at selected arts and science college in Chennai’’. OBJECTIVES: 1. To assess the pre-test knowledge level regarding organ donation among arts and science college students in experimental group and control group. 2. To evaluate the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on organ donation among arts and science college students in experimental group. 3. To compare the post test level of knowledge score in experimental and control group. 4. To find association between the post- test knowledge on college students regarding organ donation and selected demographic variables among experimental group. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The study was carried out using a quantitative, true experimental design. 50 Arts and Science College students were selected from Gurunanak Arts and Science College students as experimental group and 50 Patrician arts and science college students were selected for control group. Samples were selected using a multi stage sampling with simple randomization. Pre existing knowledge was assessed for college students in both groups using a structured questionnaire prepared by the investigator and validated by the nursing experts. Structured teaching programme on organ donation was given to the participants in experimental group using PPT. Control group was not provided with any intervention. Post test was conducted in both the group after a week of intervention. Control group was provided with the same education using the booklets after the conduction of post test. RESULTS: The results shows that in experiment group, on an average, in post test after having structured teaching programme, the mean difference of knowledge gain score is experimental group students are having 15.64 knowledge score and control group students are having 7.24 knowledge score, so the difference is 8.40, this difference is large and it is significant. It was tested using Student independent t -test. The difference shows the effectiveness of structured teaching programme.
