Summary, etc. A descriptive study done in Quezon City General Hospital wherein 250 employees (medical and non-medical) and 71 patients/guardians were interviewed. Respondents were asked a series of questions regarding their attitudes and behavior toward organ donation. It was found out that majority of the respondents were aware of organ donation. More than half were willing to donate. However, only two-thirds of these donors signified their intention by their willingness to carry organ donor cards. Twenty six percent were uncertain to donate. Less respondents were inclined in donating organs of their relative than their own. This study revealed that approval of their next of kin regarding their will is important in order to facilitate organ retrieval from themselves when the appropriate time comes. Less than majority of respondents accept brain death as actual death; and factors like religion, level of education and income seem to have influence on their perception. Attitudes concerning organ donation vary according to an individual's sociodemographic characteristics such as age, level income, level of education, civil status and religion. Although reasons for not referring potential donors were obtained from the physicians, majority of them were still willing to refer recognize donors. These results suggest that the knowledge and positive attitudes of the people, the physician and the society be translated into favorable practices for it be deciding factors in the viability of any organ donation program in our country.
