Abstract：
BACKGROUND: The basis of teaching anatomy is the understanding of the body\'s structures using human cadavers. Body donation should be a fully conscious and voluntary act. There is a growing demand for human cadavers in medical universities. To meet these demands, it is necessary to understand the societal awareness regarding body donation.
METHODS: The study utilized a proprietary single-choice questionnaire while maintaining the anonymity of the respondents. The study included 1004 individuals, comprising 700 women and 304 men. The analysis employed the Mann-Whitney test, Pearson\'s chi-squared test with calculation of the Cramer\'s V coefficient.
RESULTS: Among the respondents, 56.37% consider donating their bodies for scientific and educational purposes. Among the concerns associated with donation, fear of lack of proper respect for the remains by students (18.23%), family opposition (16.24%), and religious reasons (9.16%) were highlighted. Non-religious individuals are more inclined to donate their bodies for scientific and educational purposes than religious individuals (p < 0.001). Residents of rural areas and small towns are less likely to consider donating their bodies for scientific and educational purposes than residents of large cities (p = 0.002). As many as 85.76% of respondents believe that human remains are essential for effective anatomy education.
CONCLUSIONS: Increasing public awareness of cadaver donation may contribute to increasing the effectiveness of anatomy teaching at medical universities.

摘要：
背景：教授解剖学的基础是使用人体尸体理解身体的结构。遗体捐献应该是一种完全自觉和自愿的行为。医学大学对人类尸体的需求不断增长。为了满足这些要求,有必要了解社会对遗体捐献的认识。
方法：该研究使用专有的单选问卷，同时保持受访者的匿名性。这项研究包括1004个人，包括700名女性和304名男性。分析采用了曼-惠特尼检验，皮尔逊卡方检验与CramerV系数的计算。
结果：在受访者中，56.37%的人考虑捐赠他们的身体用于科学和教育目的。在与捐赠相关的问题中，担心学生缺乏对遗体的适当尊重（18.23％），家庭反对(16.24%),突出了宗教原因(9.16%)。与宗教人士相比，非宗教人士更倾向于为科学和教育目的捐献遗体（p<0.001）。与大城市的居民相比，农村地区和小城镇的居民不太可能考虑出于科学和教育目的捐赠自己的身体（p=0.002）。多达85.76％的受访者认为，人类遗骸对于有效的解剖学教育至关重要。
结论：提高公众对尸体捐赠的认识可能有助于提高医学院解剖学教学的有效性。
