土耳其在身体采购方面持续存在的困难导致获得了受当前立法机构监管的捐赠、无人认领、身体解剖和进口的身体。然而，还没有研究调查正在进行的身体问题的程度。本研究旨在透过一项线上调查，勾勒出解剖科室的身体来源及其成效。此外，每个部门的官方网站都被调查了有关遗体捐赠的任何信息。无人认领的身体(84.8%)是解剖科室的主要来源，其次是捐赠身体(50%)和进口身体(39.1%)。基础医疗机构更倾向于进口身体(P=0.008)。2000年以后，我部的捐献登记数有适度增长(r(S)=0.567；P=0.018)。在以城市为基础的国内生产总值指标(9,900美元比16,772美元，P=0.041)、初中或高中毕业生的频率(30.4%比31.3%，P=0.041)和本科生或研究生的频率(13.1%比15.8%，P=0.24)显著更高的城市，部门设法使用了捐赠的身体。解剖科系使用无人认领身体的主要原因是教育(45.9%)，唯一来源是无人认领身体(24.3%)，捐献不足(21.6%)。74个部门中有9个(12.2%)在其网站上提供了有关遗体捐赠的信息。身体采购在土耳其仍然是一个严重的问题，显然，目前的立法机构没有提供足够的身体流入。同样，解剖部门在公众对遗体捐赠的意识和对国家遗体捐赠运动的支持方面的有效性似乎值得怀疑。阿纳特科学教育11：155-165。(C)2017年美国解剖学家协会。
Persisting difficulties in body procurement in Turkey led to the acquisition of donated, unclaimed, autopsied, and imported bodies regulated under current legislature. Yet, no study had investigated the extent of the on-going cadaver problem. This study was aimed to outline cadaver sources in anatomy departments and their effectiveness by means of an online survey. Additionally, official websites of each department were investigated regarding any information on body donation. Unclaimed cadavers (84.8%) were the major source for anatomy departments, followed by donated (50%) and imported cadavers (39.1%). Foundation-based medical faculties were more likely to import cadavers (P=0.008). There was a moderate increase (r(s)=0.567; P=0.018) in donation registrations to our department after 2000. The departments in cities with significantly higher City-Based Gross Domestic Product measures (US$9,900 vs. US$16,772, P=0.041), frequencies for mid- or high-school graduates (30.4% vs. 31.3%, P=0.041), and frequencies for under- or post-graduates (13.1% vs. 15.8%, P=0.24) had managed to use donated cadavers. Anatomy departments' major reasons for using unclaimed cadavers were education (45.9%), unclaimed cadavers being the only source (24.3%), and receiving inadequate donations (21.6%). Nine out of seventy-four departments (12.2%) provided information regarding body donation on their websites. Body procurement remains as a serious problem in Turkey and it is apparent that current legislature does not provide a sufficient cadaver inflow. Similarly, anatomy departments' effectiveness in public awareness of body donation and support in the National Body Donation Campaign seems questionable. Anat Sci Educ 11: 155-165.
