Abstract

Organ donation is donation of one's body parts, or for transplantation purposes from a living donor.The usually transplanted organs are the kidneys, heart, liver, lungs and pancreas, while the body, bone, skin and heart valves are the transplantable tissues. Organ donation is widely performed all around the world, yet its demand is still unable to be met. Organ shortage occurs in Malaysia as well and it is believed that the low organ donation rate in Malaysia is associated with the knowledge level and its socio-cultural view among Malaysians (Haque et al., 2015; Huern, Yee, Rajah & Poniah, 2016; S et al., 2014). Gender, religious beliefs, race,age,and socioeconomic factors are the factors that are correlated with the low organ donation rate in Malaysia.Thus, these factors will be identified to determine its correlation with the knowledge,attitude and practice level in the study. Medical students are the future individuals that will participate in the healthcare setting and having greater exposure towards issues regarding organ donation. However,the knowledge, attitude and practice of organ donation among medical students in Malaysia is not well studied. Thus,this study is carried out among the medical students in Universiti Putra Malaysia with the aim of accessing their knowledge, attitude and practice level on organ donation as well as their associated factors.It is aimed that by targeting medical students, students can help to raise awareness of the decreasing number of organ donors in Malaysia. A cross-sectional study is carried out among the medical students in UPM and data is collected via online questionnaire.After data collection,data will be analysed by using the Statistical Package of Social Sciences (SPSS) version 26 through descriptive analysis, chi-square test and one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). 2
