In Singapore, the
donation of tissues is governed by the Medical (Therapy, Education and
Research) Act. For past years, our tissue banks have engaged in various
publicity methods. The objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness
of our publicity strategies among healthcare professionals.
A 6-questions
survey was conducted among doctors, nurses, allied health and support services
staff from Singapore General
Hospital and National Heart Centre Singapore.
Sample size was calculated in accordance to the occupation ratio.
Of the 450
respondents who completed the survey, most did not see, read or heard about
tissue donation. Newspaper articles were their main source of information
amongst those who encountered tissue donation message. All categories of staff
concurred that presentations by tissue banking experts is the best way to
convey the message.
