Answer:
Explanation:
The importance of skin banks in the management of burns cannot be overemphasized. Unfortunately awareness about skin donation is low. We conducted a study to understand the level of awareness about skin donation in medical students. A well-structured pre-test questionnaire , information leaflet and then a post-test questionnaire on the knowledge of skin donation was administered to 150 final year medical students and responses elicited. Although the evaluation demonstrated significant improvement in knowledge (P < 0.0001) after the post-test questionnaire, it is important to know that the preliminary knowledge regarding skin donation of these students was very poor.
