The sample comprised 269 subjects ac-cording to 99% power and significance level of alpha = 0.05. Data were collected using a Personal Information Form, Empathic Tendency Scale, Altruism Scale, and the Organ Donation Attitude Scale.Results: A positive, strong, statistically significant relationship was determined between the empathic tendency and altruism scales and the organ donation and transplantation scale (p < 0.001). Empathic tendency and altruism were determined to affect the positive attitude subscale of the organ donation attitude scale at the rate of 11.9%.Conclusion: The findings indicate that programs that foster empathy and compassion should be implemented in order to foster a positive attitude about organ donation.en10.1016/j.trim.2022.101731info:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessOrgan DonationOrgan TransplantationEmpathic TendencyAltruismNursing CareKidney DonorAttitudesTransplantationStudentsImpactArticle75Q4WOS:0008866493000022-s2.0-8514153090436374740Q3
