    (Conselho Brasileiro de Oftalmologia, 2002-12-01) Rodrigues, Adriana Maria [UNIFESP]; Sato, Elcio Hideo [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    Purpose: To analyze the knowledge and attitude of the general population in order to identify the main deficiencies and to suggest measures to increase the number of cornea donations by the general population. Methods: Study through questionnaire polls answered by 321 people at the São Paulo Hospital. Results: Among the general population, 79.4% said to be cornea donors. The reason for the other 20.6% not to be donors was fear of trade of organ and not to receive proper treatment by the medical staff for being a potential donor. There was a statistically significant difference of knowledge about transplantation between those who said to be donors and those who did not. Conclusion: The authors concluded that better information on corneal transplantation for the general population would be of great help in increasing the number of cornea donations.

    Entendimento dos médicos intensivistas sobre o processo de doação de córneas
    (Conselho Brasileiro de Oftalmologia, 2003-01-01) Rodrigues, Adriana Maria [UNIFESP]; Sato, Elcio Hideo [UNIFESP]; Universidade Federal de São Paulo (UNIFESP)
    PURPOSE: To evaluate the knowledge and attitudes of intensive care physicians concerning corneal transplantation. METHODS: A questionnaire was answered by 100 intensive care physicians. RESULTS: All physicians knew about the procedure and were in favor of cornea transplantation, but only 57% had ever asked for a donation. Forty-four (44%) of all physicians did not feel able of answering questions by possible donors and all the physicians said to be interested in having more information about corneal transplantation. CONCLUSION: Information and education about transplantation in Medical Schools must be improved, in order to provide better understanding for intensive care physicians, in such a way that they could act more effectively when facing such situations.
