In total, 92 physicians, 433 nurses, and 26 other staff members participated.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The 2 groups did not differ significantly with regard to donation-related attitudes. The study group had a significantly lower perception of the public's approval of organ donation than did the control group ( P &lt;.001). Nurses reported significantly less involvement than did physicians ( P &lt;.001) in caring for potential donors, communicating severe brain damage, explaining brain death, requesting donation, and contacting procurement staff. Probably because of previous training, physicians in the study group reported less need for additional training on donation-related issues than did control physicians. However, compared with physicians, nurses in the study group requested significantly more training on a number of donation tasks. Nurses with more than 5 years of critical care experience were consistently more confident with donation-related tasks.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Support rates for donation are high overall, and previous training is associated with improved attitudes and decreased educational needs. Educational efforts tailor-made for nurses should increase nurses' confidence levels when confronted with potential donors and their next of kin.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1177\/152692480801800305","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,1,12]],"date-time":"2017-01-12T12:04:41Z","timestamp":1484222681000},"page":"173-178","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":16,"title":["An Analysis of Critical Care Staff's Attitudes to Donation in a Country with Presumed-Consent Legislation"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"18","author":[{"given":"B\u00e9atrice","family":"Pelleriaux","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Catholique de Louvain, Brussels, Belgium (BP, DVD, OC, CD), Donor Action Foundation, Linden, Belgium (LR), Eurotransplant International Foundation, Leiden, The Netherlands (JS)"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Leo","family":"Roels","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Catholique de Louvain, Brussels, Belgium (BP, DVD, OC, CD), Donor Action Foundation, Linden, Belgium (LR), Eurotransplant International Foundation, Leiden, The Netherlands (JS)"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dominique","family":"Van Deynse","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Catholique de Louvain, Brussels, Belgium (BP, DVD, OC, CD), Donor Action Foundation, Linden, Belgium (LR), Eurotransplant International Foundation, Leiden, The Netherlands (JS)"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jacqueline","family":"Smits","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Catholique de Louvain, Brussels, Belgium (BP, DVD, OC, CD), Donor Action Foundation, Linden, Belgium (LR), Eurotransplant International Foundation, Leiden, The Netherlands (JS)"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Olivier","family":"Cornu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Catholique de Louvain, Brussels, Belgium (BP, DVD, OC, CD), Donor Action Foundation, Linden, Belgium (LR), Eurotransplant International Foundation, Leiden, The Netherlands (JS)"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christian","family":"Delloye","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universit\u00e9 Catholique de Louvain, Brussels, Belgium (BP, DVD, OC, CD), Donor Action Foundation, Linden, Belgium (LR), Eurotransplant International Foundation, Leiden, The Netherlands (JS)"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,9,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-152692480801800305","unstructured":"Transplant Newsletter.
