“…The strongest and most consistent predictor of donation authorization is knowledge or awareness of the donor-eligible patient's wishes. FDMs' awareness of their loved ones' donation wishes is strongly associated with honoring those wishes [15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. A recent study found that 97.6% of FDMs who were aware of their family member's wish to donate did so as compared to 85.6% who did not [23].…”

Family members of critically ill patients suffer from high levels of anxiety and depression in the ICU, and are at risk of developing post-ICU syndrome following ICU discharge. In the case of brain death, and potential organ donation, the family is at the center of the decision process: within a limited time frame, the family will be informed that the patient is brain dead and will be approached about potential organ donation. Family experience with organ donation has been the topic of several research papers allowing to gain knowledge about family members' experience of organ donation, emphasizing specific needs, adequate support and pointing out gaps in current delivery of family-centered care. In this review, experts clinicians and researchers present the various legal systems regarding family implication in organ donation decisions; describe factors that influence the decision-making process; highlight family perspectives of care and respect for potential donors in the ICU environment; describe the impact of organ donation discussions and decisions on post-ICU syndrome; and suggest communication skills and support to be developed in the future. A research agenda for the next decade is also encouraged. Overall, challenges remain and concern all persons involved in the process, ICU doctors and nurses, the organ procurement organization, family members and, in some cases, the patients themselves. Looking at the big picture will provide opportunities for further improvements.

Personal and familial features associated with organ donation in Chilean adultsBackground: The rates of organ donation are alarmingly low in Chile. Aim: To determine the relationship between social and family characteristics that influence the decision to donate organs and tissues among adults. Material and Methods: The questionnaire developed in Spain by the international collaborative project on organ transplantation and donation, developed and validated in Chile was applied to 383 adults aged 40 ± 17 years (mostly women), living in Coquimbo, Chile. Results: Seventy seven percent of respondents would agree to be a donor. The main features of eventual donors are: being young adult in 62% of respondents, single in 48%, with complete secondary education in 29%, non-practicing Catholic in 37% and being informed on television about transplantation in 66%. In a logistic regression model, the features significantly associated with being an eventual donor were the decision of donating organs of relatives (Odds Ratio [OR] 9.1 95% confidence intervals , commenting and knowing the opinion of relatives , especially parents and partner, and a lower age . Conclusions: The decision to donate organs is influenced by commenting and knowing the opinion of relatives, especially parents and partners. Also, a lower age is associated with a better attitude towards donation.

“…The donation idea is under the influence of variables of different performers and temporal moments, so it can be affected easily (López et al, ). In that, the donation of organ voluntarily is a profoundly human action in all cultures that is to mirror the qualities of the group inside which it happens (Jones & Nie, ).…”

This study examines the influence of knowledge, bodily integrity, religion, and media on attitudes toward organ donation on University campus. A total of 724 participants completed surveys for this study a multivariate regression model was used to test the effects of these factors on participants' attitudes toward organ donation. The variable sets considered are the knowledge of organ donation, bodily integrity, religion, media, and attitudes toward organ donation. The results suggest that the effect of knowledge, bodily integrity, religion, and media influences the intention to donate organs. There is a positive relationship between the knowledge levels of participants on the University campus and belief levels and organ donation attitudes, and the fear of disintegration of their bodies is still an obstacle to organ donation. The paper indicates how it is possible to distinguish different components of organ donation behavior and to present the conclusions regarding the context on a University campus. The findings extend the exchanges with respect to the part of beliefs in the intentions of organ donation and arrangement of attitudes and have a significant incentive in making open approaches that further promote organ donation.
