Why is it important?
Research on organ donation has been lacking measures of attitude with theoretical support. The measures were validated with good psychometric properties for future research on organ donation to adopt.
Perspectives
This pilot study provided insights that attitude toward organ donation could be made up of both a cognitive and affective component. People may generally support organ donation, but when talking about their own situation, their attitude toward organ donation could be ambivalent.
