“…An interventional study by Shukeri et al ( 22 ) identified improved attitudes of healthcare professionals towards organ donation after an educational website-based intervention, as they were more willing to donate their own as well as their relatives’ organs post-intervention. The study also proved that increased knowledge among healthcare professionals solved the problem of their passivity in approaching families of potential donors and informing the transplant teams.…”

“…Only with a deeper understanding of their concerns can we resolve each issue individually. For example, the interventional study by Shukeri et al ( 22 ) provided us with proof that educating healthcare professionals is effective in increasing confidence in our organ donation system. Thus, more interventional studies should be encouraged and education on organ donation should be prioritised in medical and nursing schools to produce doctors and nurses who are well-informed, as our findings proved that more knowledgeable healthcare professionals are more likely to advocate organ donation to their patients and families.…”

Background: Various barriers lead to a shortage of organs for transplantation in Malaysia. One drive to improve the organ donation rate operates through future healthcare practitioners and practitioner advocacy. This scoping review was carried out to establish and summarise findings about organ donation-related articles among the public, health sciences students and health personnel. A further aim was to synthesise the latest data on knowledge and attitudes towards organ donation in the Malaysian population. Methods: PubMed, Scopus, Google Scholar and the Malaysian Medical Repository (MyMedR) were used for a search conducted up to May 2022. Relevant search terms included ‘Organ donation’ and ‘Malaysia’. Journal articles related to knowledge, attitudes and intention were grouped under the general public and health science. Students and health personnel were included. Eligible studies were reviewed by two independent reviewers. Any disagreements were resolved by consensus with a third reviewer. Results: The 31 included articles revealed an increased level of awareness among the public regarding organ donation. The analysis identified that nonrecognition of brainstem death (38.5%), no knowledge of how to contact the Organ Transplant Coordinator (82.3%) and never approaching the families of a potential donor (63.9%) led to a lack of confidence among healthcare practitioners to promote organ donation. Conclusion: The shortage of organ donors is the result of the failure to identify the expected donor, obtain consent and procure the organs due to the passivity of Malaysian health professionals in promoting the organ donation process.

In response to combatting COVID-19 and to ease the traceability of immunization, the Mysejahtera mobile application has been rolled out nationwide in Malaysia by the Ministry of Health. However, the usage of this application in public health has been decreasing as the pandemic situation becomes more manageable. Subsequently, new features including the pledge for organ donation have been introduced. Yet, the number of organ donors remain low. In supporting the growth of digital health, this study aims to determine the factors contributing to the awareness, attitude, and intention of Malaysians to register as organ donors in this application. A quantitative approach is applied, whereby purpose sampling is used. The sample size taken is 400 respondents, and structural equation modelling (SEM) method is utilised to validate the model. This study shed light on the public's awareness and their willingness to use mobile app for organ donation purposes. The result is expected to assist policymakers in developing effective strategies and to successfully manage organ donation in Mysejahtera.

Organ donation and transplantation are integral components of modern medicine. This scoping review thoroughly explores the historical evolution, current status, and future prospects of organ donation and transplantation in Malaysia. Historically, Malaysia faced significant challenges in establishing a robust organ transplantation system, with various factors hindering organ donation efforts. Currently, Malaysia continues to struggle with stagnant donation rates despite collaborative efforts from various sectors. There is an urgent need to amend the 50-year-old Human Tissue Act to strengthen the legal framework for organ donation and address ethical concerns. Looking to the future, Malaysia could adopt a soft opt-out system and prioritize advancements in organ preservation techniques by exploring new sources of organs through the donation after circulatory death program. Continued efforts are necessary to enhance education programs for professionals and the public, dispelling myths about organ donation and effectively educating on the concepts of brain death. Malaysia strives to create a more accessible future for organ transplantation, aligning with the Sustainable Development Goals to reduce the burden of organ failure and improve the population's health and well-being.
