abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of this study was to determine the attitudes and the approach of the people living in the southeastern anatolia region and the impact of the lack of education on them.
  
  
  METHODS
  We used questionnaires consisting of 15 questions that were given to 145 people to be completed in 2 hours. The questionnaire assessed their knowledge, attitudes, and awareness of organ donation.
  
  
  RESULTS
