Abstract (2. Language): 
Objective: In this study, knowledge, attitude and behaviors of university students on organ donation were investigated. Material and Method: A stratified random sample of 955 students were asked for six sociodemographic, seven personal information, nine behavior and twenty attitude questions using a Likert-type scale survey form. Results: Totally 955 students participated the study and 85.6% reported that the most significant barrier against organ transplantation was inadequate organ donation. While 363 students (38.0%) didn’t decide to donate any organs although they had positive views on organ donation, 209 students reported that they would donate all of their organs and the organ chosen as likely to be donated the most was kidney. When the reasons for negative views on organ donation were examined, the primary reasons were found to be “presence of religious barriers” and “discouragement". Also, 719 (75.3%) students had no knowledge about where the organs were donated. Conclusion: University students have insufficient information about organ donation. Informing them about the details of the organ donation will have an effect on increasing the donation rates.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Amaç: Bu çalışmada üniversite öğrencilerinin organ nakli konusundaki bilgi, tutum ve davranışları araştırılmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntem: Tabakalı tesadüfi örneklem ile seçilen 955 öğrenciye; likert tipi anket formu kullanılarak, altı sosyodemografik, yedi kişisel, dokuz davranışsal ve yirmi tutumsal soru soruldu. Bulgular: Toplam 955 öğrencinin katıldığı çalışmada, %85,6’sı organ nakli karşısındaki en büyük engelin yetersiz organ bağışı olduğunu bildirdi. 363 öğrenci (%38,0) organ bağışı konusunda olumlu görüşlere sahip olmasına rağmen, herhangi bir organ bağışında bulunmamıştı. 209 öğrenci kendi organlarının tamamını bağışlayacağını bildirdi ve en sık bağışlanacağı söylenen organ böbrekti. Organ bağışı konusundaki negatif görüşlerin nedeni incelendiğinde, primer sebepler “dini engeller” ve “cesaretsizlik” olarak bulundu. Aynı zamanda, 719 (%75,3) öğrenci organ bağışının nereye yapılacağını bilmiyordu. Sonuç: Üniversite öğrencilerinin organ bağışı konusunda yeterli bilgileri yoktur. Organ bağışı konusunda onları bilgilendirmek, bağış oranlarını arttırmada etkili olacaktır.
