Every day, the needs for organ donation are increasing while the number of organ donors is significantly lower and unable to meet the demand. To successfully promote organ donation, it is important that Intensive Care Nurses have highest level of knowledge and positive attitude towards organ donation because they play a vital role in improving organ donation rates. Organ donation education has shown increased knowledge and positively influenced attitude among Intensive Care Nurses about donor eligibility and brain death. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of organ donation education on knowledge & attitude among Intensive Care Nurses. A one-hour organ donation education and educational leaflet was given to 63 of registered nurses. A Structured administered questionnaire on knowledge and attitude scale was used before and after intervention. The finding of the study showed the respondent’s knowledge and attitude on organ donation has been increased after attending organ donation education and organ donation education gives the greatest effect on knowledge and attitude of Intensive Care Nurses toward organ donation.
