Article Synopsis
- Organ donation rates in Jordan are low due to religious misconceptions, lack of education, and insufficient awareness about the impact of organ failure on patients.
- A study analyzing attitudes toward an opt-out organ donation system involved 1,146 participants across Jordan, revealing that many recognized the need for more awareness and online registration options, yet only a small percentage were registered as donors.
- Findings indicated that while there is general support for organ donation, actual willingness to donate is limited, heavily influenced by religion, occupation, and prior discussions about organ donation.
Background: Patient safety practices are crucial in healthcare as they aim to reduce harm, medical errors, and ensure favorable outcomes for patients. Therefore, this study aims to examine the attitudes towards patient safety among undergraduate medical students in Jordanian medical schools.
Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted among undergraduate medical students.
