Although there has been an increase in studies examining the experiences of organ donor and nondonor families, scant empirical research specifically concerning tissue donation has been conducted.
To assess the perceptions and attitudes of both donor and nondonor next of kin to whom a tissue donation request had been directed.
Cross-sectional, 2-group analysis of a telephone survey.
Participants were 507 adults who consented to tissue donation and 507 adults who refused consent to tissue donation following the death of a family member. All donation requests were made by telephone by trained staff.
The primary outcome measures were demographic and contextual information surrounding the donation request, perceptions and attitudes toward tissue donation, and reasons for donation or refusal to donate.
Findings suggest that most tissue donor family members were satisfied with the request and donation experience. Also, there were important differences in attitudes and perceptions between donor and nondonor family members, with nondonors reporting more negative attitudes and beliefs about tissue donation.
尽管研究器官捐赠者和非捐赠者家庭经历的研究有所增加，但针对组织捐赠的实证研究却很少。
评估收到组织捐赠请求的捐赠者和非捐赠者近亲的看法和态度。
电话调查的横断面两组分析。
参与者为507名同意组织捐赠的成年人以及507名在家庭成员去世后拒绝同意组织捐赠的成年人。所有捐赠请求均由经过培训的工作人员通过电话提出。
主要结局指标为围绕捐赠请求的人口统计学和背景信息、对组织捐赠的看法和态度以及捐赠或拒绝捐赠的原因。
研究结果表明，大多数组织捐赠者家庭成员对请求和捐赠经历感到满意。此外，捐赠者和非捐赠者家庭成员在态度和看法上存在重要差异，非捐赠者对组织捐赠的态度和信念更为消极。
