The Latin American (LA) population resident in the USA is a growing subgroup of the population. To find out the structure of attitude towards organ donation in the LA population resident in Florida (USA). A sample was taken of LA residents in Florida, randomized and stratified by nationality, age and sex (n = 1524). Attitude was assessed using a validated questionnaire (PCID-DTO Rios) that was self-completed anonymously. The survey completion rate was 95% (n = 1450). Attitude was favourable in 33% of respondents (n = 485), against in 40% (n = 575) and undecided in 27% (n = 390). The following variables were associated with a favourable attitude: country of origin (Dominican Republic; P = 0.038); sex (female; P < 0.001); marital status (married; P < 0.001); level of education (university; P < 0.001); previous experience of the subject (P < 0.001); considering the need for a transplant in the future (P < 0.001); understanding the concept of brain death (P = 0.003); attitude towards donating a family member's organs (P < 0.001); having discussed organ donation and transplantation with one's family (P < 0.001) or with one's partner (P < 0.001); participation in pro-social type activities (P < 0.001); the respondent's religion (atheist-agnostic; P < 0.001); a respondent's knowledge of the attitude of his or her religion towards organ donation (P < 0.001); no concern about mutilation after donation (P < 0.001); acceptance of cremation (P < 0.001); burial (P < 0.001); and an autopsy if one were needed (P < 0.001). The attitude towards donation of LA in Florida is worse than that reported in the native population and is associated with certain psychosocial factors.

“…Furthermore, collaborating in prosocial activities and having previous experience of transplantation are part of a view of life involving solidarity and altruism. In this sense, it is notable that a person's belief that he or she may need an organ in the future is another favorable factor affecting attitude toward xenotransplantation .…”

INTRODUCTION. Religious factors have conditioned the attitude toward Organ Donation and Transplantation (ODT) since the beginning of the transplant, despite the fact that most religions are in favor of transplantation. In health professionals, this situation is considered as overcomed, although there are studies that indicate otherwise. OBJECTIVE. To assess the impact of religious beliefs of medical students on their attitude toward ODT. METHOD.-Population under study: Medical students in Spanish Universities.-Study sample: Stratified by geographical area and academic course.-Assessment instrument: Attitude ODT questionnaire "PCID-DTO-Ríos". Anonymity and self-administered completion. RESULTS. Of all students, 42% (n=3,907) declare themselves atheists or agnostics. The remaining 58% (n=5,368) declare themselves to be religious, the majority being Catholic (55%, n=5,102). Of the rest, 0.2% are Muslims (n=8), 0.1% Protestants (n=1) and the remaining 2.7% (n=257) indicate other religious doctrines but do not want to specify it. Regarding their attitude towards ODT, those who consider themselves atheists or agnostics have a more favorable attitude than those who consider themselves religious (84% versus 76%; p<0.001). Among those who follow some kind of religion, Catholics are more in favor of ODT than non-Catholics (77% vs. 64%, p<0.001). Note that among religious only 57% (n=3,050) know which religion is in favor of transplantation, while 22% (n=1,152) consider that it has not pronounced on the matter, 13% (n=723) that are against, and the remaining 8% (n=443) do not know. CONCLUSION. The religion professed by medical students conditions their attitude toward donation, being more in favor the atheists and agnostics.
