Öğe Evaluation of knowledge, attitude, and awareness of liver transplant patients toward xenotransplantation(Wiley, 2024) Dogan, Bahar Aslan; Ozden, Gurkan; Dolu, Sevim; Mese, Mesut; Akbulut, SamiBackground: Xenotransplantation (XTx) is an alternative treatment for organ scarcity. Investigating the acceptance of XTx among patients from diverse cultural and religious backgrounds is essential. This study aimed to evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and awareness of XTx among patients undergoing liver transplant (LT). Methods: This descriptive study was conducted between November 2022 and August 2023. The study population comprised LT patients aged >= 18 years who were admitted to the hepatology clinic of a university hospital in Turkey. Of the 360 patients (n = 360) interviewed, 351 were deemed eligible for inclusion. A questionnaire was used to collect data. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, median, standard deviation, minimum-maximum, number, percentage, and Pearson's chi-square test were used for statistical analysis. Results: Of the patients, 78.3% were religious and adhered to religious requirements, and 87.2% considered their religious beliefs when making important decisions. In all, 41.3% of the participants believed that organ or tissue transplantation from animals to humans is ethical, while 70.1% of the participants believed that organ and tissue transplantation from non-halal animals to humans was impossible. Specifically, 56.7% would not allow organ or tissue transplantation from a non-halal animal to themselves or a relative. Knowledge and attitude towards XTx were not affected by transplantation type (p > .05), but were affected by sex and educational level (p < .05). Conclusion: This study found that LT patients generally oppose XTx. To enhance knowledge and awareness, religious leaders and healthcare professionals should organize comprehensive and effective seminars on this topic.Öğe Opinions of nursing and theology faculty students on Xenotransplantation(Wiley, 2022) Dogan, Bahar Aslan; Saritas, Serdar; Akturk, Ummuhan; Akbulut, Sami; Kucukakcali, Zeynep; Erci, BehiceBackground It is mentioned that students' opinions about xenotransplantation (XTx) have been explored in a limited manner. In particular, there is no literature in Turkey on Nursing and Theology students' perspectives on XTx. This research aimed to find out what Nursing and Theology students thought about XTx. Methods This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted on students studying at the Theology and Nursing faculties. The study population consisted of 2.581 students educated in these faculties. Without using any sampling method, it was aimed to reach all students, and 1.780 (70%) students were reached. Data were collected using a participant identification form and questionnaire form, which the researchers developed. Results The difference between the answers given by the Nursing and Theology students to the information statements about XTx was statistically significant (p < .001). Nursing and Theology students' attitudes to organ or tissue Tx from halal animals in case of necessity were positive (p < .001). While the nursing students' attitude toward organ or tissue Tx from non-helal animals in case of necessity was negative, Theology students had no idea (p < .001). In other attitude statements, while nursing students responded positively, Theology students responded as I have no idea (p <= .001). Conclusion Theology students tended to have the question about XTx and only positive attitude towards XTx from halal animals. Nursing students mostly had positive attitude, but negative when XTx is practiced out of necessity.
