| Abstract | INTRODUCTION: The information provided by future journalists is fundamental for promoting healthcare and their attitude toward organ donation and transplantation (ODT) could affect public opinion. The objective of this study was to analyze the attitude of students of journalism toward ODT and the factors affecting this attitude. MATERIALS AND METHODS: The subjects of this study were students doing a degree in journalism in 2005-2006 (N = 129). A self-administered questionnaire about ODT was completed anonymously. For statistical analysis we used Student t test and the χ(2) test. RESULTS: The questionnaire completion rate was 98% (n = 126). Most students (78%; n = 98) would be willing to donate their organs, although 22% (n = 28) would not. Attitude was more favourable among those respondents who knew a transplant recipient (100% vs 71%; P = .002), had a favourable attitude toward donating a family member's organs (P = .000), and had discussed ODT within the family (P = .000). Those who had a positive attitude toward living donation had a more favourable attitude toward deceased ODT (P = .000 for kidney and P = .003 for liver). Most respondents (56%; n = 70) believed that the general information they received about ODT was limited and 9% (n = 11) believed that it was good. Most (83%; n = 104) had never received a talk about the subject, although 90% (n = 113) believed that receiving one would be very interesting. CONCLUSION: Attitude toward ODT is favorable in a high percentage of students of journalism. This is positive if we want these professionals to inform society about the subject. They should be provided with clear and concise information. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
