The aim of this study is to evaluate recipients and donors undergoing organ transplantation in terms of orthorexia nervosa. The population of the study consisted of individuals over the age of 18 who were donors or recipients undergoing organ transplantation at the Organ Transplantation Centre of Research-Application Hospital of Gaziantep University in Turkey (n=74). A questionnaire consisting of 3 parts was used as a data collection tool. While the first part includes questions that ask socio-demographic characteristics of the participants and constitute the independent variables of the study (21 questions), the second and third parts include the Orthorexia Nervosa-15 (ORTO-15) and the Eating Attitude Test (EAT-40), respectively. Based on the cut-off point of the ORTO-15 scale, it was determined that while 78.4% (n=58) of the participants were normal in terms of orthorexia nervosa, 21.6% (n=16) were orthorexic. In terms of the cut-off point of EAT-40, 37.8% (n=28) of the participants did not have an eating disorder and 62.2% (n=46) suffered from an eating disorder. The ORTO-15 mean ranks were high in those who were females (p=0.035), were suffering from chronic diseases (p=0.002), did not consume fast food (p=0.004), were making arrangements before eating their daily meals (p=0.018), and were doing regular physical activity (p=0.042). Consequently, it was determined that those who were females, were suffering from chronic diseases, were making arrangements before eating their daily meals and were doing regular physical activity showed a more orthorexic tendency. It is recommended for healthcare professionals to determine the orthorexic tendency level of patients, who are female, suffer from chronic diseases, adhere to a regular diet and do a regular physical activity, and evaluate the whole patient group in terms of eating disorders while healthcare professionals conduct early diagnosis screenings of the patients (recipient/donor) in the organ transplantation process or referring them.
