“…Our psychosocial research group (International Collaborative Donor Project) 9 has, in recent years, carried out a stratified study in Spain. 8 As a result, we have found that 89% of Latin American residents in Spain are in favor of related living kidney donation and would be willing to donate. The donation rates among Latin American residents in Spain are similar to those of the Spanish for both deceased and living donation.…”

“…[11][12][13] However, we should investigate the reason why this lack of knowledge and fear exists when they reside in the United States and not in other places. 8 After reviewing the bibliography on this subject, contradictory data were obtained, possibly due to the reasons already mentioned about the different methodologies, questionnaires, or lack of stratification. Purnell et al, 14 in a national study in the United States carried out on 845 Americans from different racial and ethnic groups, found that there were no differences in attitude toward living donation between the Latin American population and white Americans.…”

Introduction: Latin American immigrants comprise an important population group in the United States. The purpose of this study was to analyze the attitude toward living kidney donation found among Latin American citizens who are residents in Florida and to identify the psychosocial variables affecting their attitude. Material and Methods: A sample of Latin American residents in the state of Florida was randomly obtained and stratified by nationality, age, and sex (n ¼ 1524). Attitude was assessed through a validated questionnaire that was self-administered and completed anonymously. Descriptive, Student t test and the w 2 test were used to analyze findings. Results: The questionnaire completion rate was 94% (N ¼ 1433), with 59% (n ¼ 845) in favor of related living donation, 40% (n ¼ 571) were opposed to donation, with the remaining 1% (n ¼ 17) undecided. The following variables were related to attitude toward living donation: country of origin (P < .001), marital status (P < .001), having descendants (P ¼ .004), educational background (P < 0.001), having had previous experience of donation and transplantation (P < .001), attitude toward deceased donation (P < .001), considering the possibility of needing a transplant (P < .001), the respondent's partner's opinion (P < .001), having considered the subject with one's family (P < .001), having carried out prosocial type activities (P < .001), the respondent's religion (P < .001), knowing that one's religion is in favor of this therapy (P < .001), concern about mutilation after donation (P < .001), and considerations of the risks of living donation (P < .001). Conclusions: The attitude toward related living kidney donation of Latin American residents in Florida is not very favorable (only 59%).

The knowledge acquired during university education about organ donation and transplantation (ODT) decisively influences the information future health professionals transmit. This is important in ODT where the participation of the general public is essential to obtain organs. OBJECTIVE: To determine notions of Spanish Medicine and Nursing students on ODT, and the relation with attitude toward ODT. METHODS AND DESIGN: A sociological, multicentre, and observational study. Population: medical and nursing students in Spanish universities. Database: Collaborative International Donor Project, stratified by geographic area and academic course. A validated questionnaire (PCID-DTO-RIOS) was self-administered and completed anonymously. Sample: 9598 medical and 10566 nursing students (99% confidence; precision of ±1%), stratified by geographical area and year of study.RESULTS: Completion rate: 90%. Only 20% (n=3640) of students thought their notions on ODT were good; 41% (n=7531) thought their knowledge was normal; 36% (n=6550) said it was scarce. Comparing groups: there were differences between those who believed that their notions on ODT were good (44% nursing vs.56% medical students;p<0.000), and those who believed it scarce (54% nursing vs.46% medical students;p<0.000).Notions on ODT were related with attitude toward the donation of one's own organs: those who considered their notions were good were more in favor then those who considered it scarce (88% vs.72%;p<0.000). CONCLUSION: Only 20% of Spanish medical and nursing students thought their notions on ODT were good.Having good knowledge is related to a favorable attitude towards ODT. Receiving specific information on the subject could improve their knowledge about ODT during their training.
