“…Yet critical care practitioners often have inadequate communication skills and knowledge related to organ donation and brain death. 22,29,35,36 As noted earlier, they may also have ambivalent feelings about such issues. In combination, these factors have the potential to influence staff confidence and comfort and, in turn, prevent them from providing effective support to families and from facilitating the decision-making process.…”

Background Families' experiences in the hospital influence their decisions about donating organs of brain-dead relatives. Meeting families' support needs during this traumatic time is an obligation and a challenge for critical care staff. Objectives (1) To elicit family members' accounts of various types of support received and perceived quality of care for themselves and their loved ones when they made the donation decision, and (2) to examine the relationship between these factors and the families' donation decision. Methods Retrospective telephone interviews of 199 families from different regions of the country were completed. Aside from demo graphic data, the survey addressed perceptions of informational, emotional, and instrumental support and quality of care. Results One hundred fifty-four study participants consented to donation; 45 declined. White next of kin were significantly more likely than African Americans to consent. Specific elements of reported support were significantly associated with consent to donate. Donor and nondonor families had differing perceptions of quality care for them selves and their loved ones. Receiving understandable information about organ donation was the strongest predictor of consent. Conclusions Specific supportive behaviors by staff as recounted by family members of potential donors were significantly associated with consent to donation. These behaviors lend themselves to creative training and educational programs for staff. Such interventions are essential not only for next of kin of brain-dead patients, but also for staff and ultimately for the public as a whole. (American Journal of Critical Care. 2010;19:e52-e62) Notice to CE enrollees:A closed-book, multiple-choice examination following this article tests your under standing of the following objectives:1. Identify at least 2 types of information that family members found to be helpful when considering organ donation for a brain-dead relative. 2. Describe bereavement care. 3. Discuss at least 3 reasons why relatives did not consent to donation for their loved ones.

“…7 Their views and opinions on the donation process, for example, have facilitated the identification of potential donors and thus are highly influential in the way people think about the process. [8][9][10] Although empirical studies on health care personnel's point of view have been conducted, few studies have reviewed the literature as a whole. 11 Some reviews have compared the knowledge and attitudes of nurses toward organ donation across countries; 9 others have synthesized the literature on the attitudes of these professionals towards brain death and organ donation; 8 some others have reviewed research on attitudes of medical personnel toward organ donation in the case of cardiac death.…”

aBstract:The purpose of this study was to review the empirical studies on health personnel's views towards organ donation and transplantation. A scoping review was carried out in English, Portuguese and Spanish. The search was conducted in eight databases, and two search engines. Four groups of descriptors were used. The period covered was 1985 to 2013. Frequency and content analysis was performed. Two hundred forty-eight articles were selected, out of 316 identified. The literature is temporally and geographically clustered. Quantitative studies predominate. The studies prioritized the perspective of medical and nursing personnel over other actors, such as directors and organ donation coordinators. Health personnel's attitudes toward deceased organ donation was the most examined topic. In conclusion, a growing quantitative literature analyzes the perspective of physicians and nurses with regard to deceased organ donation and transplantation. la VisiÓn del personal de salud soBre la donaciÓn Y el trasplante de Órganos: una reVisiÓn de la literatura resuMen: El objetivo de este estudio fue revisar los estudios empíricos sobre la visión del personal de salud respecto a la donación y trasplante de órganos. Se hizo una revisión panorámica de la literatura en español, inglés y portugués; realizándose la búsqueda en dos buscadores y ocho bases de datos. El periodo abarca de 1985 al 2013. Se hizo análisis de contenido y frecuencias. De 316 artículos identificados, 248 fueron seleccionados. Según los hallazgos, los trabajos se concentraron en términos temporales y espaciales; predominando aquellos con metodologías cuantitativas. Las publicaciones priorizaron la perspectiva del personal médico y enfermería sobre las de otros actores, como directivos y coordinadores de donación. Las actitudes del personal sanitario hacia la donación de órganos de fallecido fue el tema más estudiado. Se concluye que una producción creciente de tipo cuantitativo analiza la perspectiva de médicos y enfermeras sobre la donación y trasplante de órganos de fallecido.descriptores: Donación de órganos.

“…Besides being a successful treatment method for the patients with irreversible failure of a vital organ and giving diseased patients a second chance at life [3,4], organ transplantation also provides patients having endstage organ failure with an opportunity to improve their quality of life [2,5,6]. Nowadays, it is possible to transplant a number of vital organs and tissues including the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, pancreas, small intestines, bone marrow, blood, skin, and corneas [4].…”

“…The most suitable donor for organ transplantation is a relatively young and healthy donor with irreversible brain death and with functional organs other than the brain [8,9]. In Western countries, organs are mainly procured from cadavers (3,4), whereas in Turkey, the organs are mainly procured from living donors, particularly by donation from the relatives of the patient [2,10]. Inadequate organ donation is a common problem in our country, as it is worldwide [1].…”

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of nursing education on the opinion of students regarding organ donation and to offer suggestions according to the outcomes. Methods: The study design was a descriptive study. The sample of this study consisted of 743 voluntary grade 1 and 4 students in nursing schools of 5 universities, and 47.4% were grade 1 students and 53.6% were grade 4 students. The data were obtained via a questionnaire that had been prepared by the researchers in reference to the literature and based on expert opinion. The data obtained were evaluated electronically by descriptive statistics and a chi-square test. Results: It was determined that 82% of the students were willing to donate their organs. The leading causes for unwillingness to donate organs included preference to maintain body integrity, concerns about organ trafficking and the notion that the decision about their death would be rendered earlier because of organ removal. It was determined that the knowledge and sources of information of students regarding organ donation significantly increased in the course of nursing education (p=0.000). Conclusion: Nursing education positively affects the opinions of students regarding organ donation. The positive attitudes of the nurses of the future, who have an important role in public education, will positively affect their approach toward the patient with brain death, as well as the decision process of families for organ donation, and consequently may increase the rate of organ donation.
