ABSTRACT

The present study aimed to assess the knowledge and attitude regarding organ donation among college students in Jaipur. A descriptive research design was adopted to achieve the objectives. The sample comprised 100 college students, selected through simple random sampling technique. A structured questionnaire was used as the primary tool for data collection, covering demographic variables, knowledge, and attitude dimensions. The findings revealed that most of the students had moderate knowledge, while a positive attitude towards organ donation was observed among most participants. Statistical analysis indicated a significant association between knowledge levels and selected demographic variables such as age and educational background. The study concluded that although students demonstrated a favorable attitude, there is still a need to strengthen awareness programs to enhance their knowledge regarding organ donation. The results suggest the importance of integrating educational interventions to promote organ donation among the youth population.

Key words: College students, organ donation, informational booklet, knowledge, attitude.
