dc.description.abstractBackground and aim. The most important factors affecting organ donation are socioeconomic, educational, and cultural factors. The aim of this study was to evaluate the attitudes, knowledge levels, and behaviors of school teachers toward organ donation Methods. This study surveyed 2400 school teachers working in official public schools. Turkey was divided into 26 regions based on the similarity of social, economic, and geographic factors identified by the Turkish Statistical Institute. Teachers were distributed equally in the city center and towns based on population. The survey procedures were carried out using computer-assisted personal interviewing. Results. Among teachers, 89.6% had a bachelor's degree and 8.5% had a master's degree. In addition, 32.5% worked in primary schools, 33.1% worked in secondary schools, and 34.4% worked in high schools. Furthermore, 0.7% had donated an organ; 66.5% were not considering organ donation in the future, of whom 9.0% indicated religion as the reason for not donating an organ, and 34.8% did not indicate any reason. In addition, 96.6% considered organ donation to be proper behavior for humanity and 68% believed that organ donation is appropriate in religious terms. Conclusions. This study showed that school teachers have inadequate knowledge and attitudes toward organ donation. Encouraging children and adolescents to make a well-informed decision about organ donation and to register this choice will depend largely on preparing school teachers with adequate knowledge and motivation toward creating generations with a positive attitude toward organ donation.en_US
