“…These results were higher than those obtained by Park. [ 14 ] The systematic review [ 5 ] found that better knowledge and religious beliefs negatively impacted Koreans’ willingness and decision-making regarding organ donation. There was no statistically significant difference in terms of gender, age, or educational qualifications in this study.…”

“…Family members of South Korean patients in surgical ICUs found that 75% had positive attitudes toward organ donation, 60.9% were willing to donate their organs, and 38% were willing to donate the organs of their family members. [ 14 ] The more positive their attitudes toward organ donation were, the more significant their willingness to donate their family members’ organs. The prerequisite for family members to agree to organ donation was a prior understanding of the PBD’s medical condition and of brain death.…”

Willingness of intensive care unit patients’ family members to donate organs: A cross-sectional study

2023

The large gap between the demand for, and the supply of organs worldwide makes promoting organ donation an important global social issue. Even after someone has signed a consent form or registered for organ donation, ethically, the hospital still requires a family member's written permission before organ donation can proceed. As a result, a family member rather than the patient makes the final decision. This study investigated the willingness of the family members of hypothetical patients in intensive care units (ICUs) suffering from an irreversible condition to sign an organ donation consent form. A cross-sectional survey was conducted among family members of ICU patients recruited from one medical center in southern Taiwan from April to October 2014, which followed the STROBE guidelines. Of 110 ICU family members, 71 (64.5%) were willing to donate the organs of hypothetical patients with irreversible conditions. Based on logistic regression, family support, attitude, and knowledge of organ donation significantly predicted 34% of the variance in willingness to sign consent. Attitude toward organ donation and behavioral knowledge of organ donation correlated significantly with a willingness to sign a consent form. This study found that family support and organ donation attitudes were important factors in predicting the willingness to sign a consent form for the organ donation of hypothetical patients. The study provides evidence that nurses and healthcare staff need to consider family support and educate families on organ donation to encourage potential donors to accept and agree to organ donation.Abbreviations: COD = consent to organ donation, ICU = intensive care unit, MUIS = Mishel uncertainty in illness scale, PBD = patients with brain death, SD = standard deviation.

“…After education, their intention for both family members and their organs significantly increased. However, the intention of donating family member organs remained significantly lower than donating one's own organs ( 22 ). This can state that changing attitudes toward organ donation is a time-consuming process and it needs to be internalized overtime.…”

BACKGROUND: Medical professionals' knowledge of and attitudes toward organ donation and transplantation have positive impact on donation rates. The aim of this study was to determine the knowledge and attitude of medical university students in Iran about organ donation and transplantation.METHODS: This cross-sectional study was carried out on 1078 undergraduate students in Golestan University of Medical Sciences, Gorgan, Iran, from January to June 2019. All eligible students were recruited using convenient sampling. Data were gathered using knowledge and attitude toward organ donation and transplantation questionnaire. The higher scores of both subscales, the knowledge subscale (range from 0 to 13) and the attitude subscale (range from 13 to 65), indicate the better knowledge and attitude toward organ donation and transplantation.RESULTS: The mean age of students was 22.24±5.16 years. Finding showed that the mean score of students' knowledge and attitude toward organ donation and organ transplantation were 8.48±1.71 and 48.55±8.11 respectively. Also, the mean score of students’ knowledges in females (P<0.001), married (P=0.001) and who had organ donation card (P<0.001) was significantly higher. Nearly all of the students had heard about organ donation (98.3%) and organ transplantation (98.4%). Majority of them pointed that their source of information about organ donation and transplantation was television (TV) program (47.1%). Most of the students (73.8%) reported that they agree to donate their organs but most of them (67.5%) did not know how to obtain organ donation card and only 9.6% of them had the organ donor card as a volunteer donor.CONCLUSION: According to finding, despite the awareness and favorable attitude about organ donation and transplantation among medical students, the number of registered donors was low. In addition to promoting college students’ awareness about organ donation for increasing registered donors, it is needed to aware and pursue lay people through social media.

“…This is particularly important as there were some misbeliefs about eye donation (e.g., no knowledge about the possibility of [research] donation, age as a limiting factor). Although there are studies showing that education regarding organ donation could increase willingness to donate organs [28,29], Lawlor et al [30] elaborated that personal, non-rational reasons are in fact particularly important in relation to the decision. Some patients are, even with transplant-related professional experience [31], still afraid of a disfigurement of their body; especially regarding skin, bone and corneal donation [24].…”

The Willingness of Patients to Participate in an Eye Donation Registry for Research

Introduction: For ophthalmologic research, the systematic correlation of clinical data with data obtained from postmortem tissue donation is of great benefit. In this respect, the establishment of an eye donation registry represents a prerequisite for the acquisition of such data. Methods: A total of 300 patients were interviewed at a tertiary referral center in Germany by means of a standardized questionnaire. Binary questions were evaluated by percentage; Likert-scaled questions (1= does apply; 5 = does not apply) were analyzed by median and 25th (Q25) and 75th (Q75) percentile. Results: The majority of patients (77.0%) would agree to donate their eyes for research purposes. When asked about reasons against an eye donation, 60.9% of all patients did only state reasons of the category “addressable” (e.g. not enough awareness of the topic). The vast majority of patients considered it appropriate for an ophthalmologist to approach them on the issue of postmortem eye donation (1[1;1]). Conclusion: Overall, patients had a positive attitude towards postmortem eye donation for research purposes. Importantly, reasons given against post-mortem eye donation were often related to misconceptions and were potentially addressable. These results underline the fundamental willingness of patients in Germany to donate their eyes post-mortem for research purposes.

Effects of phased education on attitudes toward organ donation and willingness to donate after brain death in an Asian country

Abstract: Phased education was effective overall, but it had a limited effect on changing the willingness to donate a family member's organs. It increased the consistency between people's attitudes toward organ donation and willingness to donate their own, or a family member's organs.
