“…This study found sociodemographics (e.g., gender, age, educational level, marital status, and employment) and disease history (e.g., dialysis duration) to be related to KT willingness. The average KT willingness score of male participants was higher than that of female participants, which is consistent with previous results (Calvo-Calvo et al, 2018; Kim et al, 2023). This disparity may relate to differences in the way men and women utilize healthcare services.…”

“…Employed participants in this study were found to be more willing to receive a transplant than their unemployed peers, possibly because employed individuals are required to make time in their busy schedules to receive regular dialysis treatments. This finding is consistent with that of Tan et al (2017) but is inconsistent with other studies (e.g., Calvo-Calvo et al, 2018;Hamilton et al, 2017).…”

“…Researchers have explored relationships between sociodemographics and willingness to undergo a KT. Previous studies have revealed that patients who are male (Calvo-Calvo et al, 2018;Kim et al, 2023), younger (Alansari et al, 2017;Tan et al, 2017), more highly educated (Alansari et al, 2017;Hamilton et al, 2017), single (Alansari et al, 2017;Hamilton et al, 2017), employed (Tan et al, 2017), and financially well-off (Ilori et al, 2015;Qiao et al, 2016) as well as those who have been on dialysis for shorter periods (Alansari et al, 2017;Qiao et al, 2016) tend to be more willing to undergo a KT. However, some studies have reported unemployed people as being more likely to receive a KT (Calvo-Calvo et al, 2018;Hamilton et al, 2017).…”

Background The prevalence of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in Taiwan is among the highest in the world. Although kidney transplant is the most effective treatment for ESRD, the willingness of patients with ESRD to undergo kidney transplantation is low in Taiwan. The factors associated with willingness to accept kidney transplantation remain unclear, and studies on kidney transplant willingness and associated factors among Taiwanese patients with ESRD are scarce. Purpose The aim of this study was to assess willingness to undergo a kidney transplant and related factors among patients with ESRD in Taiwan. Methods A cross-sectional design was employed. Two hundred fourteen participants from a single medical center in Taiwan were recruited, and 209 valid questionnaires were collected (valid response rate: 97.7%). The study instruments included a kidney transplant knowledge scale, a kidney transplant attitude scale, and a kidney transplant willingness scale. Data were analyzed using Pearson's product–moment correlations, t tests, one-way analyses of variance, and multiple regressions. Results The mean kidney transplant willingness in the sample was 13.23 (out of 20). Being male, younger, married, or employed; having a college education or above; and having a shorter dialysis duration were all associated with higher kidney transplant willingness. Sociodemographics, dialysis duration, knowledge, and attitudes explained 45.4% of the variance in kidney transplant willingness, with two of these, kidney transplant attitudes (β = .61, p < .001) and dialysis duration (β = −.11, p = .041), identified as significant. Conclusions/Implications for Practice The findings support the important role of cultivating positive attitudes in patients with ESRD to increasing willingness to undergo kidney transplantation interventions.

El gesto altruista del donante vivo y sano de riñón, relacionado genética o sentimentalmente, se basa en la autodeterminación, voluntad, y generosidad. La argumentación ética alrededor de la donación de riñón de donante vivo y sano se orienta con las éticas principialista y personalista, la dignidad humana, la corporalidad, la divisibilidad del cuerpo, el mal menor y el mal mayor. Hace parte del derecho a la información amplia y suficiente que recibe el donante sobre los riesgos y posibles complicaciones físicas y morales del procedimiento, por medio del comité de bioética y el grupo de trasplantes. Con base a la argumentación ética planteada se procedió a contestar la pregunta de esta investigación: ¿se debe dejar que una persona viva y sana sea sometida a una cirugía que le dejará mononéfrico de por vida, solo por el deseo de ayudar a otro, a pesar de que existen programas activos con donante cadavérico? El objetivo de este artículo es plantear una argumentación ética sobre la donación de riñón de donante vivo y sano que contribuya a una adecuada orientación de su decisión.

Abstarct Objective: to analyze the quality of life of kidney transplant receivers in the State of Amazonas. Method: a cross-sectional, descriptive study, performed with 222 individuals after renal transplantation registered in a private clinic and in a health public ambulatory. Data collection took place through structured interviews where the quality of life was measured by the Kidney Disease Quality of Life - Short Form. Descriptive statistics were used for data analysis. Results: the quality of life scores found ranged from 36.5 to 83.1. The quality of life domains, specifics of renal disease, have proved to be superior to generic ones. The most compromised were work situation; sleep; physical function and emotional function, with scores of 36.5; 53.7; 52.4; 55.1, respectively, and correlated moderately and significantly with each other. Conclusion: the majority (63.2%) of the quality of life domains obtained high scores and the specific component of renal disease had higher scores than the generic component.
