| The purpose of this study was to determine if lecturers and students in IPBA are aware of organ
donation and whether or not they are willing to donate their organs. Specifically, the study aimed
to determine if there was any relationship between their level of awareness and their level of
willingness towards organ donation. Additionally, the study sought to determine if there were any
significant gender differences. The study also sought to determine the percentage of IPBA
lecturers and students who are registered as organ donors. The sample for this study consisted
of 54 males and 58 females who were randomly selected from the whole IPBA population. For
this study, data were collected using a survey questionnaire adapted from a previous study and
an interview schedule. The study found that IPBA lecturers and students generally are highly
aware of organ donation, but are only moderately willing to donate their organs. However, there
was a significant correlation between the level of awareness and the level of willingness towards
organ donation. The study also found significant gender difference in their level of awareness, but
not in their level of willingness. Only 4.46 percent of the respondents are registered as organ
donors. |
