Abstract
BACKGROUND The knowledge and acceptance of the concept of brain death among future health professionals is essential. The objective of this study was to analyze the knowledge of the concept of brain death among nursing students at the Medical University of Warsaw and determine the factors that affect it. METHODS Academic year 2011-2012, nursing students of the University of Poland. Sampling points in 5 compulsory-attendance nursing courses with a completion rate >80%. Validated questionnaire (PCID-DTO Rios), anonymous and self-administered. RESULTS The completion rate was 96% (793/828); 71% (n = 561) knew the concept of brain death, 22% (n = 178) did not know it, and 7% (n = 54) did not know that it implies the death of the patient. Variables related to the correct knowledge: 1) to be studying in 4th year compared with 1st year (85% vs 60%; P ≤ .001); 2) discuss the subject with family (76% vs 61%; P ≤ .001); 3) discuss with friends (73% vs 63%; P = .009); and 4) having a favorable attitude toward organ donation (74% vs 65%; P = .011). In the multivariate analysis, the variables that remained independent were studying in 4th year (odds ratio [OR], 3.809; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.006-5.823; P ≤ .001) and discussed with family concerning donation and transplantation (OR, 1.718; 95% CI, 1.241-2.381; P ≤ .001). CONCLUSIONS One-third of the nursing students were unfamiliar with the concept of brain death.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Liver transplantation from living donors (LLD) has become a viable and important source of liver grafts. The objective of this study was to analyze the attitude of nursing students at the Pomeranian Medical University in Poland on donation of live liver, and to determine the factors that affect it. METHODS Academic year 2011-2012, nursing students at a university in Poland, sampling points in 5 compulsory-attendance nursing courses with a completion rate of 80%, validated questionnaire (PCID-DVH Rios) filled out anonymously and self-administered. RESULTS The completion rate was 89% (227/254). Of the 227 students surveyed, 92% (n = 209) were in favor, 6% (n = 14) undecided, and 2% (n = 4) against. When the LLD is not related, 44% (n = 100) of respondents would be in favor. With a positive attitude toward this type of donation, we associated the following variables: 1) age, with the youngest showing a more favorable attitude (P = .006); 2) attitude in favor of living kidney donation (98% vs 85%; odds ratio, 4.950; 95% confidence interval, 9.259-2.652; P = .002); 3) attitude in favor of accepting a family LLD (96% vs 81%; P = .003); 4) discussing donation and transplantation with family (95% vs 87%; P = .043). CONCLUSIONS Ninety-two percent of nursing students at the Pomeranian Medical University in Poland were in favor of live organ donation, an attitude conditioned by various psychosocial factors.
