Abstract
Objective To investigate the past participation and their future intention of donation after citizen death (DCD) work of attendees. Methods A questionnaire study was carried out in the 9th Chinese ICU annual congress and local workshops taken part in difference provinces and cities from May 2015 to July 2015. A 12-multiple self choice questionnaires, collecting the demographic data of attendees and analyzing the ratio of DCD awareness and participation, their attitude towards DCD, and future recommendation of DCD development, were facilitated and immediately collected back. Results A total of 512 questionnaires were collected and 489 were available. 97.75% of the attendees have been awareness of DCD and 62.37% have ever participated in DCD activity. During the whole survey, 85.07% of them expressed their willingness of future DCD activities participation. The current fierce conflict between medical workers and patients was selected to the main barrier of DCD work. The enforcement of DCD population and organ donation law were most recommended to improve donation success. Conclusion It is the fifth year after DCD programme initiation and full implementation since last year. Despite the obvious raise of DCD recognition among ICU staff, there is still long way to go ahead to the era of satisfactory donation rate. The hostility between medical workers and patients is the main barrier for ICU workers for DCD promotion. Key words: Organ transplantation; Organ donation; intensive care unit
