“…Previous findings have shown that mass media-plus-interpersonal media has a greater impact on behavior, especially about signing donor card [46]. In our study, interpersonal media had a positive significant effect on the participants' knowledge.…”

Background Shortage of organs for transplantation is still considered to be a global concern, especially in developing countries such as Iran. Identifying factors contributing to the individual's decision to be a donor in a given society is critical to address the shortage of organ donors. 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 study was a cross-sectional design conducted among 600 employees from 57 offices in Hamadan, in the west of Iran, in 2018. Participants were selected randomly and surveyed on being a donor and as well on their perceptions regarding signing the donor card. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was conducted to determine the inter-relationship between the studied variables.Results: The mean age of participants was 39.5 (SD=7.0). Twenty percent of participants (n=120) had a signed donor card. Overall structural model provided a good fit with the data[χ2= 1172.964 (df=643, p<0.001), CFI=0.910, TLI= 0.902, RMSEA=0.037 (90% CI, 0.034 - 0.040). descriptive norms (β= 0.53, p<0.001), non-cognitive beliefs (i.e; Jinx factor, Ick factor, mistrust to medical system and body integrity (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.Conclusions This study provides socio-culturally informed evidence on individuals' signing donor card. To combat the shortage of organs for transplantation, these factors could provide a guide to policymakers in developing the community- based interventions.

“…The analysis yielded 3 groups 1 : first with most successful interventions (N ¼ 62), 7,8,17,24,25,32 second with successful interventions (N ¼ 20), 9,10,18,19,20,[26][27][28][29][30]34,[11][12][13][14][15][16] and third with least successful interventions (N ¼ 10). [21][22][23]29,31,33,35,36 The first group of studies shown in Table 2 consisted of most successful interventions (N ¼ 6) that used more SMBC (mean ¼ 4.17) and have set and achieved 3 to 4 goals with 100% success rate. The dominant intervention approach in this group was the educational approach.…”

Introduction: This systematic review examines the factors that make some interventions promoting postmortem organ donation more successful and more likely to change behaviors than others. We analyzed the effectiveness of different types of interventions for promoting postmortem organ donation against the criteria identified by previous research in other health-related areas as the most important for designing effective behavior change programs. We observed a correlation between the use of social marketing benchmarks and the reported success of intervention goals. Methods: We conducted a systematic review of all articles describing interventions promoting postmortem organ donation published in scientific journals between January 2008 and November 2018. We analyzed these articles against the 7 social marketing benchmark criteria using a coding questioner. Findings: The analysis revealed a correlation between the use of social marketing benchmark criteria in an intervention’s design and the success of the intervention. Interventions that employed 6 or 7 criteria reported successful achievement of all intervention objectives. We observed a decrease in success rates when fewer than 6 social marketing benchmark criteria were included in the intervention design. Discussion: The findings suggest that a social marketing approach may prove useful to efforts to promote postmortem organ donation. More social marketing benchmark criteria should be included in the design and implementation of interventions promoting postmortem organ donation.

“…Studies investigating factors associated with the likelihood to register as a donor and effective interventions to increase registrations have shown that minority groups are generally less willing to donate but that multifaceted approaches that include mass media campaigns, point-of-decision interventions and interpersonal interventions increase registrations. [23][24][25][26][27] Interestingly, an astounding proliferation of donor registries has occurred in the US since 2006, with the total number of registrants increasing from approximately 60 million to 100 million people. 28 In addition, in all 50 states, an individual's designation as a registered donor is now honored with no further requirement for family authorization.…”

Increasing the pool of deceased donor organs for kidney transplantation

Expanding the pool of available deceased donor kidneys is critical for improving the outcomes of prospective and current renal transplant candidates. A number of interventions have been proposed that may increase the pool of donors in the US. However, these interventions have variable levels of empirical evidence supporting their potential beneficial impact. Proposed interventions include the instigation of policies for presumed donor consent, the expansion of donor registration, increased quality oversight of transplant providers, financial incentives for donors, increased reimbursement for higher risk donors, alterations in organ allocation policies and distribution, and the selective use of donors with potential or known risk for disease transmission. Many of these interventions have contentious elements that may have delayed or impeded their implementation; however, these options should be considered in the context of the diminishing prognoses for prospective transplant patients, given the increasing scarcity of donor organs relative to the population need. In this Review, we outline the proposed interventions and briefly discuss salient issues that characterize the debates concerning their implementation and effectiveness. Ultimately, any intervention must be based on the best evidence available, with consideration of numerous stakeholders and in conjunction with a careful evaluation of long-term and potential unintended consequences.
