Survey of Our Healthcare Professionals and Future Healthcare Professionals on Their Training, Knowledge, and Experience Regarding Organ Donation
Overview
In 2024, 29,000 people were waiting for an organ transplant in France, and only 6,034 transplants were performed during the year. 852 people died in 2024 while waiting for a transplant. The gap between the number of available transplants and the number of patients waiting for a transplant has been widening since the 1990s; there is talk of a shortage of transplants. There is therefore an urgent need to find more transplants and mobilize the entire population to this end. There are many prejudices and misconceptions about organ donation, which hinder its acceptance. In fact, the rate of opposition to donation has only increased in recent years. Even among the healthcare community, organ donation suffers from a lack of knowledge, which potentially contributes to difficulties in acceptance. This lack of knowledge is probably linked to insufficient training and practice. The aim of the research is to study the perception of training, knowledge, and experience of organ donation by our healthcare professionals and future healthcare professionals in Alsace, France.
