To study the motivation and attitudes of a candidate sperm donor population in Belgium.
Anonymous survey.
Tertiary referral infertility center.
PATIENT(S): One hundred candidate sperm donors applying to the center for a first semen analysis between April 2013 and March 2016.
INTERVENTION(S): Invitation to complete an anonymous questionnaire.
MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Demographic characteristics, recruitment methods, motivations and attitudes toward payment, donor anonymity, disclosure to offspring, donation to lesbian couples and single women, views on the donor children and social aspects of sperm donation.
RESULT(S): The majority of our candidate donor population were older men with a partner who were donating sperm for altruistic reasons. The financial compensation was only an important motivational factor in 31% of the candidate sperm donors. Eighty-two percent of the men said they were willing to reveal nonidentifying information about themselves to donor offspring, but only 26% were willing to donate nonanonymously. The wish to receive certain information about the recipient family and the donor offspring was linked to men who had a partner and a child of their own.
CONCLUSION(S): The wish to receive and donate information depends on the characteristics and beliefs of the candidate donors. Also, the donor's characteristics were linked to the acceptance of meeting the offspring in the future: the donors with a partner and donors who said they would donate without financial reimbursement were less willing to meet the donor offspring.
研究比利时候选精子捐赠人群的动机和态度。
匿名调查。
三级转诊不孕中心。
2013 年 4 月至 2016 年 3 月期间，100 名向该中心申请首次精液分析的候选精子捐赠者。
邀请他们填写匿名问卷。
人口统计学特征、招募方法、支付动机和态度、捐赠者匿名、向后代披露、向女同性恋伴侣和单身女性捐赠、对捐赠子女的看法以及精子捐赠的社会方面。
我们的候选捐赠者人群主要是年龄较大的男性，他们有伴侣，捐赠精子是出于利他的原因。经济补偿只是 31%的候选精子捐赠者的重要动机因素。82%的男性表示愿意向捐赠者后代透露自己的非识别信息，但只有 26%的人愿意匿名捐赠。愿意接收有关受方家庭和捐赠子女的某些信息与有伴侣和自己孩子的男性有关。
接收和捐赠信息的愿望取决于候选捐赠者的特征和信仰。此外，捐赠者的特征与未来是否愿意与后代见面有关：有伴侣的捐赠者和表示愿意无偿捐赠的捐赠者不太愿意与捐赠子女见面。
