Conocimientos, Actitudes y Prácticas del Personal Médico de las Unidades de Cuidados Intensivos-UCI de Manizales-Caldas Respecto a la Donación de Órganos 2016

 Objective: to describe the knowledge, attitudes and practices of the medical staff of ICU of Manizales, regarding the donation of organs. Materials and methods: qualitative descriptive type. Four ICU Doctors from each center, twelve in total. Results: the investigation made it possible to demonstrate that in the ICUs studied there is no organ transplant practice, which does not allow the physicians assigned to them to deepen their knowledge. Conclusions: in terms of the knowledge and technique they have about donation, it is partial, because they are not clear about donation concepts, and they have not performed transplants in their units. Regarding the attitudes, these are favorable, being in agreement with the training and training in the subject of organ donation. The practices of doctors are scarce since that process is in charge of the National Network of Donation and Transplants. As an emergent category, it emerged that doctors have very little information about the aforementioned network, therefore, they play a passive role during the donation process.
