Abstract
- Background: The lack of information associated with donation is devastating for those patients in need of a transplant and requires a solution based on changing social perception through educational interventions. Objective: Determine the level of knowledge of the general population after an educational intervention about organ and tissue donation at the Hospital de Cardiología UMAE No. 34. Material and methods: Educational intervention study with measurement before and after, prospective. Instrument validated using the Kuder-Richardson formula with a reliability coefficient of 0.74. The study population was made up of the general population in the waiting rooms at UMAE No. 34, only the associations with values of p < 0.05 were considered statistically significant. Results: 266 evaluation instruments were applied to 133 participants. The educational intervention contributed to an increase in the level of knowledge (p = 0.0001). The level of knowledge after the intervention was higher in the younger participants (p = 0.013) and in those with a university studies (p = 0.0001). The relation between age and the level of subsequent knowledge showed favorable significance in the intention to donate in younger participants with high subsequent knowledge (p = 0.046). Conclusions: An educational intervention on donation of organs and tissues for transplant purposes is an effective strategy to increase and reinforce the knowledge of the general population.
