Abstract
The literature on organ donation in Taiwan lacks a discussion of the roles of medical staff, organ donors, and transplant coordinators in organ donation. The biggest plight of organ donation is lack of the organ donations. When we probed the possibilities of not finish the organ donation procedure, such as religions, traditions and cultural belief, disease cognitions, and the failure of persuasion or the loss of organ donors. There are lots of research literature shown that the attitude of medical personnel would influence the willingness of organ donation or persuasion. This study considered such personnel and their participation in organ donation, specifically analyzing factors influencing their effectiveness. Snowball sampling was adopted to recruit medical staff, organ donors, and transplant coordinators for an online survey. The results revealed that some participants were unclear as to how to initiate the organ donation process and what practical operations are involved. Even with the necessary qualifications, some participants remained passive when soliciting organ donations in clinical practice. Organ donation coordinators with experience in caring for organ donors who attended organ donation courses performed well in soliciting organ donations. The researchers recommend that training courses on clinical planning and organ donation are incorporated into intensive care training and that they serve as the basis for counsellors soliciting organ donations to increase nurses’ willingness to solicit organ donations.
Highlights
Much of the relevant literature in Taiwan and abroad argues that the attitude of medical staff toward potential organ donors affects actual donation or solicitation
The results revealed that the majority of participants were female and worked in surgical disciplines, such as organ donation and transplant coordinators, or were employed in medical centers
Medical staff are crucial to the organ donation process because they are on the frontlines in discovering potential organ donors
Summary
Much of the relevant literature in Taiwan and abroad argues that the attitude of medical staff toward potential organ donors affects actual donation or solicitation. If medical staff solicit donations with confidence and awareness such that patients’ families do not reject the idea of organ donations, 84% of family members may agree to organ donations when medical staff proactively ask for it. Family members may unanimously refuse when asked without confidence or warning. This proves that the attitudes and thoughts of medical staff affect the decisions of patients’ families, highlighting how medical staff members’ past experiences, educational background, personal perception, willingness, and attitude toward organ donation and transplants may affect the discovery of potential donors [1,2].
