The study aims to gather information regarding the individual perceptions, opinions, beliefs, and conceptual understanding of healthcare professionals working in the intensive care units at the University Hospital Basel, the Cantonal Hospital Aarau and the Cantonal Hospital Baselland, and to determine associations of individual beliefs, personal, educational, and professional experiences with individual perceptions, opinions, and conceptual understanding regarding brain death and organ donation.
To achieve the study objectives, the investigator will employ a questionnaire-based survey administered to the consenting/participating nurses and physicians. The questionnaire will address various aspects related to personal background, religious affiliation, beliefs about life after death, the conceptual understanding of brain death and organ donation, as well as experiences and opinions related to these topics.
