Deceased donation in the UK relies upon family consent. Approaching a family at the tragic time of a loved one's death requires significant emotional resilience from staff. The UK is comprised of individuals who have a number of life and death values which are, to some extent, based upon their faith, culture, and ethnicity. This paper seeks to provide an overview of some of key issues relating to death, death rituals, faith, and how these may impact upon organ donation. This should be of benefit to staff dealing closely with recently bereaved families and who will be requesting organ donation from them.
英国的器官捐献依赖于家属同意。在亲人去世的悲痛时刻接近家属，这要求工作人员具备很强的情绪适应能力。英国是由具有多种生死价值观的个人组成的，这些价值观在某种程度上基于他们的信仰、文化和种族。本文旨在概述与死亡、死亡仪式、信仰相关的一些关键问题，以及这些问题如何影响器官捐献。这对于与最近失去亲人的家属密切打交道并向他们索取器官捐献的工作人员来说应该是有益的。
