Law 1805 of 2016 establishes crucial provisions regarding organ donation and transplants, with the purpose of satisfying the national demand for organs and tissues equitably and transparently. The law presumes organ donation for every adult Colombian citizen upon declaration of death, unless they have expressed prior refusal through a legal document. Healthcare personnel in Intensive Care Units (ICUs) play a fundamental role in the approach and management of organ donation, actively influencing the identification and maintenance of potential donors, as well as the initial contact with family members. Therefore, it is crucial to understand the attitude of intrahospital staff towards this issue. This descriptive observational cross-sectional study used a tool validated in Europe and Latin America. Demographic, occupational, socio-personal, knowledge, and religious variables were analyzed with the purpose of proposing strategies that strengthen institutional and governmental donation policies. The results reveal a favorable attitude in up to 92% of the surveyed individuals. However, deficiencies were identified in knowledge about the processes of reporting potential donors and the integrative role of the National Network for Organ and Tissue Donation and Transplantation (RDDTOT). Additionally, participants agree on the need to establish educational programs to promote awareness about organ donation and transplantation among healthcare personnel.
