“…The main motivations affecting willingness to donate were "To help family, relatives and future generations, " "To benefit other patients, " and "To support medical research" in agreement with previous studies (61,62,65). The percentages of people with medical backgrounds motivated to donate samples "To reap financial rewards" and "To obtain social respect" decreased after publicity, with more respondents stating that they would donate samples to help others and promote medical research.…”

“…The present results suggest that the publicity material was easy to understand and appropriate for popularization of sample donation. We considered that a lack of publicity or improper publicity led to situation in which knowledge of sample donation is poor and rate of biobank participation is low, limiting specimen donation and hampering scientific and medical research based on human samples (60)(61)(62)(63). Since effective publicity is of great significance in improving willingness to donate, the three methods were further compared to determine the most effective.…”

BackgroundThe biobank is an extraordinary aid to research and scientific progress. Public involvement in biobanks, necessary for their development, is limited due to inadequate knowledge of biobanking and concerns about sample donation. This study explores the effectiveness of different publicity methods in improving participants' willingness to donate, and assesses public motivations and concerns. It aims to identify an efficient method of improving participants' awareness of biobanking and promoting sample donation.MethodsA structured 20-item questionnaire was formulated to evaluate participants' knowledge of and attitudes toward biobanks and sample donation. In total, 1,500 questionnaires were disseminated to three groups of 500 participants who received, respectively, picture-based promotional material, text-based promotional material, or who attended a biobank-related lecture. Of these, 945 completed questionnaires were received. All the participants completed the questionnaires twice, before and after the corresponding publicity education.ResultsAfter each of the three methods of publicity based on text, pictures and a lecture, respondents' willingness to donate samples was significantly increased (P < 0.001), the lecture being more effective than the other two methods (P = 0.001). Participants with a medical background were more willing to donate biospecimens after publicity than those without medical backgrounds (P < 0.005) but had common motivations for donation including altruism and aiding medical research. The main concern hindering respondents' willingness to donate was the security of personal information.ConclusionDifferent types of biobank-related publicity based on text material, pictorial material and a lecture all improved respondents' willingness to donate and reduced concerns regarding sample donation. Medical background was a critical factor affecting attitudes toward sample donation after publicity. The results of this study suggest strategies that may popularize biobanks and enhance sample donation, further promoting the development of biobanks.

“…This contribution is much lower than reported among Saudi nursing (28.3%) and medical students (17.5%) at University of Dammam by Majeed (26). Other Asian studies like Korean, Chinese and Japanese, and other American and European studies reported much higher rate of card holders (31)(32)(33)(34)(35).This is attributed to the observed lack of knowledge among our study participants about how to get the donor card. This needs to be addressed and it necessitates more efforts by SCOT in order to compensate organ shortage in Saudi Arabia.…”

“…The results of the study indicate that students' attitudes towards the Japanese deceased donation was more favourable than that of Chinese students (43.6% versus 35.9%, p=0.001). Several factors contributed to the positive response by the students in the two countries: the prospect of a close relative donation, and earlier blood donation [12].…”

Introduction: The term 'transplantation' is understood as an intervention involving transfer of cells, tissues or organs within one body or two bodies. The donor of any organ can be a living person (ex vivo transplant) or a dead person (ex mortuo transplant). Objective: The aim of the study is to present the knowledge and opinions of nurses about organ donation for transplantation. Materials and Method: The research tool used for the study was a survey which was carried out in 2010 among 100 randomlychosen nurses employed in the departments of surgery, orthopaedic surgery, gynaecology and anesthesiology of Independent Public Clinical Hospital No. 4 in Lublin (SPSK4). Results: Although a considerable majority of nurses (73%) support the idea of transplantation, the presented research, however, indicates insufficient knowledge of nurses on transplantation-which can influence their later possible decisions concerning the donation of organs for transplantation. Only 68% of the total number of respondents knew the meaning of term 'implied consent' in the context of organs transplantation from a cadaveric donor, and 72% of nurses did not know in what type of death the organs can be retrieved. Conclusions: Nurses participating in the survey supported the idea of transplantation and would agree to donate their organs when necessary. Both the research presented in the paper and other research indicate the need for intensified education of medical personnel (particularly nursing staff) and students of medical subjects in the field of medical and legal aspects of transplantation of cells, tissues and organs.
