WCN25-3176 MULTICENTER ANALYSIS ON THE ATTITUDE OF ICU AND ER NURSES IN DAVAO CITY, PHILIPPINES TOWARDS DECEASED DONATION

Deceased Organ Donation is the best alternative option for organ recipients. The Department of Health intensifies its campaign to increase the deceased organ donors by information dissemination but with little results. In the Philippines, there is low donation rates and no education on deceased donation in medical and nursing schools. One of the factor which affects the success of this campaign is the attitude of health workers who is in touch with brain dead patient which is a potential donor. Attitude of health care workers specially the ICU and ER nurses towards brain death and deceased organ donation should be determined to enhance and empower them to handle brain dead patient for possible deceased organ donors.
