“…2. The participants scored 9.27 (SD = 1.21) in average on their knowledge of organ donation, which was higher than the average score from the public [13,14]. This result revealed the relationship between participants' education and work experience as well as the participants' continued learning with regard to organ donation.…”

“…Moreover, the average score for healthcare workers' and organ donation coordinators' attitudes toward organ donations was 78.1 ± 8.8, which signified that the participants generally had positive attitudes toward organ donation. In-depth discussions revealed that a majority of participants identified positively with organ donation but continued to worry about it, Clinical nursing staff may be reluctant to suggest organ donation to patients' families because of their own unclear knowledge of organ donation, unwillingness to become involved with families' grief and suffering, unacceptance of organ donations helping other patients and their families, worries that they are not empowered to solicit organ donations, fear of being blamed or refused, or potential conflicts from believing that organ donation means giving up medical treatment [13,14].…”

The literature on organ donation in Taiwan lacks a discussion of the roles of medical staff, organ donors, and transplant coordinators in organ donation. The biggest plight of organ donation is lack of the organ donations. When we probed the possibilities of not finish the organ donation procedure, such as religions, traditions and cultural belief, disease cognitions, and the failure of persuasion or the loss of organ donors. There are lots of research literature shown that the attitude of medical personnel would influence the willingness of organ donation or persuasion. This study considered such personnel and their participation in organ donation, specifically analyzing factors influencing their effectiveness. Snowball sampling was adopted to recruit medical staff, organ donors, and transplant coordinators for an online survey. The results revealed that some participants were unclear as to how to initiate the organ donation process and what practical operations are involved. Even with the necessary qualifications, some participants remained passive when soliciting organ donations in clinical practice. Organ donation coordinators with experience in caring for organ donors who attended organ donation courses performed well in soliciting organ donations. The researchers recommend that training courses on clinical planning and organ donation are incorporated into intensive care training and that they serve as the basis for counsellors soliciting organ donations to increase nurses’ willingness to solicit organ donations.

“…The registration of male and female physicians as organ donor, and the willingness to donate organs were found to be statistically similar. The literature showed that 12% of physicians in Iran 14 , 18% of physicians in Belgium 15 were registered organ donors, while this rate was 76.3% in United States 16 . A study from Turkey revealed that 59.1% of physicians working in transplantation unit, and 34.2% of those working in dialysis units were registered organ donor with organ donor card on 17 .…”

“…On the other hand, more than half of (58.1%) the participants stated that physicians, unfortunately, do not provide information about organ donation for the patients unless asked. In Belgium, 1% of physicians working in primary care stated that they have been asked more than one question regarding organ donation per month, while 2% encountered one question per month, while 54% of physicians got less than one question per month, and interestingly 43% stated that they had not received question at all, for the last 5 years 15 .…”

“…Awareness among hospital staff regarding the process of organ donation and brain death is critical. Coucke et al (2014) found that hospital employees have a positive attitude toward organ donation but lacked knowledge of brain death, which in turn affects organ donation rates. Jha (2014) states that creating awareness and educating healthcare professionals are of utmost importance for increasing the DOD rates.…”

PurposeEnvironmental sustainability in health care is an important issue due to the limited available healthcare resources and increase in demand. For instance, organ recycling and transplantation may reduce the increasing pressure on healthcare resources. The purpose of this paper is to set out to identify and interrelate the inhibitors that significantly influence the recycling of human organs and their implications to the environment in developing economies such as India.Design/methodology/approachThe study uses Delphi–ISM–regression, a three-step method, to investigate the possible reasons for the poor supply chain efficiency of organ recycling and to explore the consequence of excessive use of healthcare resources on the environment. The Delphi technique facilitates the identification, synthesis, and prioritization of the inhibitors. Then, using focused group discussion, the interpretive structure modeling (ISM) presents the interaction among the inhibitors into a hierarchy. Further, on the basis of 257 valid responses received on the structured survey instrument, the regression model examines the influence of identified constructs on one of the identified root causes.FindingsThe ISM presents the hierarchy-based model that depicts high driving power and low dependence inhibitors leading to reduced organ recycling rate. “Negative Intentions of family members” toward organ donation t “Willingness to discuss with family” and “Perceived Behavioral Control” emerged as the significant factors influencing organ recycling rate, which adversely impact the environment sustainability.Originality/valueThe patients on the organ waiting list put pressure on the availability of medical resources and, ultimately, on the environment through the consumption of different drugs and disposable of medical wastes. The study suggests policymakers and hospitals improve on the existing policies for an efficient supply chain of human organ recycling. The Indian situation echoes the situation in most of the emerging economies, and similar solutions can apply there too.
