“…Although organ donation and transplantation are mostly influenced by several factors about people's attitude, such as religion (Alvarez & Valencia, 2011;Holman et al, 2013;Kaur & Ajinkya, 2012;Ríos et al, 2013Ríos et al, , 2015, our study did not demonstrate a statistically significant between being religious and the decision to donate organs (p = 0.11). Moreover, this partially corroborates with our findings that states that 'Occupation" has a statistical significance to willing to donate (p = 0.009).…”

“…The issue of organ donation is complex and multifaceted, involving ethical, legal, medical, organizational and social factors (Wakefield et al, 2010). Countries around the world have reported that people's attitudes towards organ donation are influenced by factors such as knowledge, education, and religion (Haustein & Sellers, 2004;Irving et al, 2012;Kaur & Ajinkya, 2012;Morgan & Miller, 2002;Wakefield et al, 2010). Many people would be likely to donate if they knew about the benefit of organ donation instead of wasting it (Hyde & White, 2010); however, some still hold the belief that an intact body is essential to pass over into "the afterlife" (Alam, 2007).…”

Varios estudios han declarado que las actitudes de las personas hacia la donación de órganos están influenciadas por factores como el conocimiento, la educación y la religión. Muchas personas podrían donar si supieran los beneficios de la donación de órganos en lugar de desperdiciarla. Esa es la razón por la que este estudio se propone determinar el conocimiento, las actitudes y las creencias hacia la donación de órganos entre los usuarios de redes sociales brasileños y ecuatorianos. Se realizó un estudio transversal, evaluado a través de una encuesta autoadministrada, anónima y validada, y distribuido a través de las redes sociales. Cuatrocientos ocho individuos participaron en esta encuesta, 72 (17.6%) eran brasileños y 336 (82.4%) ecuatorianos. Las edades de los participantes estaban entre 18 y 59 años; 360 (88.2%) participantes estaban dispuestos a donar un órgano, mientras que solo 300 (73.5%) estuvieron de acuerdo dar su consentimiento para donar los órganos de sus familiares fallecidos (p <0.001), y 48 (11.8%) de esas personas no estaban dispuestas tener una identificación de donante (p <0.001). Con respecto al conocimiento sobre la muerte cerebral, 320 (78.4%) considerarán que el corazón continuará latiendo y 306 (75%) afirman que las personas con muerte cerebral permanecerán en coma; 359 (88%) personas recibieron información sobre trasplantes y donaciones de órganos a través de la televisión, las redes sociales y los periódicos impresos. Con base en los resultados de esta investigación y analizándolos, podemos concluir que existe una gran disposición de la población estudiada para convertirse en donante de órganos y recibir más información sobre este tema.

Although organ transplantation can save many lives, there is a shortage of organ donors. One of the reasons for shortage of donors may be unawareness about organ donation. We conducted a cross-sectional study to assess the awareness and attitude towards organ donation among adults. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: The study included 200 undergraduate students, postgraduate students, nurses, teachers and public. A questionnaire was administered at the time of interview and the data was collated. RESULTS: Majority of people were aware about organ donation (73% were aware, 18% had never heard about it and 9% did not respond). About the purpose of organ donation, 66% of them felt organ donation is done to save someone's life, 9% believed it was out of compassion/ sympathy, 9% opined that it was for money, 10% consider it as a responsibility and 6% gave other reasons. Majority (90%) of the people felt that there is some amount of risk involved in organ donation. Twenty-eight percentage of people surveyed felt that their organs would be misused and that was most common reason for not donating organs. Seventy eight percent of the participants were willing to donate organs after their death. CONCLUSION: Awareness about organ donation is good among the public and majority of the people surveyed are willing to donate organs after their death.
