dc.description.abstract	Knowledge of Organ Procurement as Related to Their Willingness to Approach Families for Donation (under the direction of Dr. Karen S. Gingrow). The purpose of this study was to determine the attitude, experience, and knowledge of registered nurses assisting in organ procurement process. The theoretical framework for this study was Orem's Self-Care Model and Roy's Adaptation Model. The research hypothesis is: There is a significant difference in the attitudes toward organ procurement of nurses who have an increased experience, and knowledge related to the procurement process. A questionnaire design was used. A convenience sample of 15 subjects was obtained through the rural hospital. The instrument consisted of a demographic sheet, attitude test, experience test, knowledge test and one approach question. Although the results indicated a significant correlation in the attitude, and experience of nurses and their willingness to approach families. Knowledge indicated no significant results that would affect nurses willingness to approach families.	en_US
