The number of transplants has increased considerably in recent years, but there are still numerous barriers and difficulties to be faced. The population is known to lack considerable numbers of effective organ and tissue donors. It is essential that the multiprofessional assistant team in this area is constantly trained and trained. The aim of this study was to analyze the knowledge of health professionals and workers about organ and tissue donation and transplantation. From July 2018 to January 2019 a quantitative cross-sectional analytical study was conducted with 250 health professionals and workers. Data collection was performed through a structured questionnaire with 18 closed questions related to the knowledge of health professionals and workers about the aspects of organ and tissue donation and transplantation in Brazil prepared by the researchers Freire et al. The collected data were analyzed using STATA software, version 12.0. Most participants demonstrated knowledge about the non-obligatory donation, non-commercialization of organs and tissues in the country, deceased donor with beating heart, deceased donor with stopped heart and concept of ME. Participants showed no knowledge of the concept of living donor. Few professionals have stated intention to donate. There was an association between the intention to donate in females, participants with higher education and those who reported higher monthly income. There was an association with the intention to donate in the participants who were able to answer correctly about informing the family as a criterion to be a donor, non-commercialization of organs and tissues in the country, the concept of a deceased donor with a beating heart, and the existence of the National Transplant System and in those. participants who could not respond to the concept of living donor. Although organ and tissue donation is a current theme, it is still poorly understood by the general population and by health professionals and workers as a result of several cultural reasons and paradigms dragged on for years cited throughout this study. The need to raise awareness along with the implementation of educational programs among health professionals on organ donation and transplantation is evident.
