“… The expressed willingness for living donation among Chinese ranged from 44.4% to 81.6%, and it decreased with increase in social distance. For example, 62.4% of surveyed university students would only donate to relatives, only 28.3% would donate to friends and relatives, 5.5% would donate to volunteers of organ procurement organizations, and 3.8% would donate to someone unknown . In fact, the majority of living kidney donors in China was related to recipient, such as parents (66.5%), spouses (5.7%), and other relatives (4.8%) .…”

“…In mainland China, the expressed willingness varied greatly between region and study population, ranged from 38.9% to 81.9%. [26,28,31,32,[36][37][38][39][40] The expressed willingness to donate was 38.9%, 39.7%, 53.5%, and 73% among the surveyed public in Changsha city, East China, Hunan province, and Beijing city, respectively; 42.2% among general nurses and 33.4% among transplantation nurses; 64.2% among doctors; 62.7% among transplant patients and 50.7% among patients' caregivers; and 64.1% among university students and 81.9% among medical students [26,28,31,32,[36][37][38][39][40]. When both expressed willingness and registration rate were examined, 61.3% of the surveyed mainland college students expressed willingness to donate but only 3% of them had actually signed an organ donor card [36].…”

Asian Americans have the lowest organ donation registration rates in the United States, and the reason for this is incompletely understood. Aiming to understand the reasons for low organ donation registration rate among Asian Americans, more specifically Chinese and Korean Americans, we conducted a systematic search of databases, websites, and gray literature. Altogether, 34 papers were retained after the assessment of relevance and quality. Commonly reported barriers to organ donation registration among Chinese and Koreans in the literature included lack of knowledge about organ donation, distrust of health-care and allocation system, cultural avoidance of discussion of death-related topics, and desire for intact body mainly stemming from the Confucian concept of filial piety. Strong family values coupled with a cultural reluctance to discuss death-related topics among family members appear to underscore the reluctance to organ donation among Chinese and Koreans. Notably, improved knowledge negatively impacted organ donation intent and religion seemed to play a more important role when making decision about organ donation among Koreans, and the distrust of the allocation system is more prominent among Chinese. This information should be used to inform the development of culturally competent organ donation educational materials.

“…However, few authors have highlighted the need of an effective policy for converting people’s positive attitudes to actual donations. For example, Zhang et al 43 in a survey revealed that the majority of Chinese were favorably inclined toward organ donation, yet their actual donation rates were quite poor. The authors ascribed this disparity to policy weaknesses.…”

Purpose The gap between the demand and the supply of human organs for transplantation is on the rise in Malaysia, despite the efforts of governments to promote donor registration. Factors affecting willingness to donate are contextual and vary from country to country. This research mainly focuses on the selection of most suitable organ donation system through factors affecting willingness to donate in Malaysia. The objectives of this study are to prioritize those factors acting as the pillars of the organ donation system and further to select the most suitable organ donation system for Malaysia. Patients and Methods The data were collected from 35 experts by using a bipolar questionnaire. The study applied an analytical hierarchal process (AHP) for prioritization factors contributing to willingness to donate and then selection of a suitable organ donation system based on prioritized factors. Results Based on the AHP results, it is evident that donation perception (0.36) has the highest priority in influencing organ donation rates, followed by socioeconomic status (0.32), demographic factors (0.23), and financial incentives (0.09). Further, our results challenge the existing opt-in donation system in Malaysia and present a presumptive approach as a suitable system for increasing deceased donation rate in Malaysia. Presumptive approach promotes the role of health-care professionals in securing the family consent. Conclusion This approach is a person-oriented rather than process-oriented strategy and it relies on designated requesters’ skills to evoke altruism among bereaved families. Based on results, the authors recommended that relevant government agencies focus on training nurses to discuss donation with bereaved families and raising public awareness.
