Background Organ donation requires management to promote awareness and create the proper culture in all societies. Awareness and attitude of students and nursing staff can affect the process of donating organs. Objectives The aim of this study was to determine the effect of blended education on the awareness and attitude of nursing students towards organ donation. Methods In this clinical trial study, which used a Solomon four-group design, 94 undergraduate nursing students from Azad University of Sanandaj in 2016 were selected by the census method and randomly assigned to four groups. The data collection tool included demographic data and the Organ Donation Awareness and Attitude Questionnaire blended education was provided to students through a one-day interactive workshop and social networks for 2 weeks. Before and after the intervention, students’ awareness and attitude were evaluated. The collected data were analyzed by SPSS 16 using Fisher, Wilcoxon, Mann-Whitney, and Kruskal-Wallis tests. Results The comparison of the awareness level after the intervention in the four groups showed statistically significant differences (P = 0.0001). Moreover, there was a significant difference in the attitude level after the intervention between the four groups (P = 0.02). Conclusions Blended education increases the awareness and attitude of nursing students. Thus, trainers and educators are suggested using blended education to train students regarding donation. Moreover, it is recommended to include the topic of donation in the nurse’s curriculum.

Background & Objective : Many cases of neonatal deaths which are caused by asphyxia could be prevented by appropriate resuscitation Successful resuscitation depends on several factors including the skill of nurses and midwives involved in taking care of sick neonates Methods : In this study 88 nurses and midwives in Kerman Province Hospitals participated and all completed an 11hour neonatal resuscitation course Among the participants 25 were selected for the based line survey After five months all of them sat for a theoretical and practical test including nine stations Results : Five months after the workshop the mean theoretical and practical scores of the participants in different hospitals showed a significant difference (P=00001) Scores of the practical test varied in different stations The highest score belonged to “neonates tactile stimulation” while the lowest was given to “resuscitating a non vigorous meconium stained neonate” There was a weak inverse yet significant relationship between age and the time past from graduation with the practical score (P=0035 r=023 and P=0017 and r=025 respectively) Practicing on mannequin and studying the provided notes on resuscitation led to getting a significantly higher score (P=00001 and P=0046 respectively) Conclusion : This study shows that teaching resuscitation alone may not guarantee skill in people Maintaining resuscitation skill is influenced by factors such as age job status practicing on mannequin and participation in neonatal resuscitation
