Survey of Healthcare Professionals and Future Healthcare Professionals in Alsace on Their Training, Knowledge, and Experience Regarding Organ Donation

What this Trial Is About

In France, there is a significant shortage of organ transplants compared to the number of patients waiting, with many people dying while waiting. This situation has worsened since the 1990s. Misunderstandings and lack of knowledge about organ donation, even among healthcare workers, contribute to difficulties in acceptance. This research aims to study how healthcare professionals and students in Alsace understand and experience organ donation, focusing on their training and knowledge. Participants include current healthcare professionals such as nurses, midwives, dentists, physical therapists, and doctors working in hospitals in Alsace, as well as students training for these healthcare roles in the same region. The study involves a survey conducted over up to 12 months to gather information on their perceptions about the clarity, usefulness, and sufficiency of their training and experience related to organ donation. During the study, participants will complete questionnaires assessing their views on their organ donation training and knowledge. The main outcome measured is the percentage of responses rating the training as sufficient, clear, and useful. This observational study does not involve treatments but focuses on gathering data to better understand educational needs among healthcare workers and students. Participation involves providing survey responses and may last up to one year.
