The progress in many aspects including life expectancy and maternal and child health, as well as the provision of sophisticated health services, is tremendous while there are still challenges in combatting non-communicable diseases and financial aspects of the health system.

“…4 After the law on organ donation from the brain dead was passed by Islamic Parliament of Iran in 2000 and its executive regulations were issued in 2002, 5 transplantation centers and organ harvesting units were established across the country. 6 Although following these measures in Iran, much has been achieved in organ donation, the process is far from the optimal condition.

Aims The purpose of this study was to use a culturally modified Organ Donation Model (ODM) to explore the significant factors and ways in which these factors could influence signing the donor card. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted among 600 employees from 57 offices in Hamadan, Iran, in 2018. Participants were selected randomly and surveyed on being a donor and their perceptions regarding signing the donor card. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was conducted to determine the inter-relationship between the studied variables. Results Participants’ mean age was 39.5 (SD = 7.0). 20% of participants had a signed donor card. Descriptive norms (β = 0.53, p < 0.001), non-cognitive beliefs (β=−0.33, p < 0.001), anticipated regret (β = 0.28, p < 0.001) and subjective norms (β=−0.17, p < 0.01) had significant direct effects on signing the donor card. Conclusion This study provides socio-culturally informed evidence on individuals' signing donor card. These factors could provide a guide to policymakers to develop the community-based interventions.
