Knowledge and beliefs on corneal donation in Singapore adults
Open accessAbstract
AIM: To assess the knowledge and willingness of Singapore adults towards corneal donation. METHODS: The study population consists of a cluster random sample of the population living in Bedok North (an area in the eastern part of Singapore). The study population comprised residents aged 21-65 years living in 675 randomly sampled housing units. The participation rate was 65.9% (544/825). All participants were interviewed face to face with a questionnaire formulated according to the modified Horton and Horton model. Knowledge, values, attitudes, and spiritual beliefs of participants were assessed to evaluate their willingness to donate their corneas. RESULTS: 67.0% of participants were willing to donate their corneas. Ethnicity (Chinese) and religion (Christians, Hindus, or those with no religion) were associated with increased willingness to donate corneas. Greater knowledge and increased altruistic values were also associated with increased willingness to donate corneas. CONCLUSION: A proportion of participants were willing to donate their corneas. Awareness of corneal donation is high but specific knowledge should be further increased among adults.

Of the 20 best studies on R/S and altruism, 15 (75%) reported positive relationships and two (10%) found negative associations.
“of the 20 best studies, 15 (75%) reported positive relationships [108–113] and two (10%) found negative associations [114, 115] (both concerning organ donations, which some religions prohibit).”
From Religion, Spirituality, and Health: The Research and Clinical Implications (2012) · cites this paper as [110]
Table 8 (labeled CONCLUSION; page unavailable) reports that respondents who considered being religious important were less willing to donate corneas, supporting this paper as an example of a negative association. The Discussion suggests that reluctance to donate could reflect religious or cultural reasons, but does not establish that a religion prohibits donation. The paper does not supply the citing review’s count of two negative studies. (LLM, conf=0.84)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
