The main goal was to evaluate the attitudes and knowledge of Zoroastrians living in Iran towards oocyte donation (OD) and embryo donation (ED) program.
This cross sectional study consisted of 318 Zoroastrians (n=175 for OD and n=143 for ED) of both sexes. The questionnaire form comprised two parts of general demographic characteristics of the participants and twenty multiple-choice questions about attitude and knowledge of participants towards OD and ED. For statistical analysis, the chi-square test was applied for comparison of data generated from ED and OD groups.
Majority of the participants supported OD (69.7%) and ED (71.3%) for infertile patients. In addition, 40% and 42% preferred donation program (OD and ED, respectively), compared to adoption. About 60% of the respondents believed that the donors have no right to find the child and claim it as their own. In addition, more than half of the respondents thought that the recipients of oocyte/embryo should never know the name and address of the donors. More than half of the participants did not know whether their religion accepts donation program or not. Approximately, 80% of respondents supported psychological counseling for both donors and recipients. Moreover, about 56% of the participants necessitated the advertisement on OD/ED program in the mass media.
Our preliminary data showed that Zoroastrians supported both OD and ED program equally for infertile couples.
主要目的是评估生活在伊朗的琐罗亚斯德教徒对卵母细胞捐赠(OD)和胚胎捐赠(ED)项目的态度和知识。
这项横断面研究包括318名男女琐罗亚斯德教徒(OD组175人,ED组143人)。问卷形式包括参与者的一般人口统计学特征的两个部分以及关于参与者对OD和ED的态度和知识的二十个多项选择题。为了进行统计分析,应用卡方检验来比较ED组和OD组产生的数据。
大多数参与者支持为不孕患者进行OD(69.7%)和ED(71.3%)。此外,与收养相比,分别有40%和42%的人更喜欢捐赠项目(OD和ED)。约60%的受访者认为捐赠者无权找到孩子并声称其为自己所有。此外,超过一半的受访者认为卵母细胞/胚胎接受者永远不应知道捐赠者的姓名和地址。超过一半的参与者不知道他们的宗教是否接受捐赠项目。大约80%的受访者支持为捐赠者和接受者提供心理咨询。此外,约56%的参与者认为有必要在大众媒体上宣传OD/ED项目。
我们的初步数据表明,琐罗亚斯德教徒同样支持为不孕夫妇进行OD和ED项目。
