The Uruguayan population is sensitized toward transplantation. However, it has not been studied how this awareness can change when emigrating to different countries.
To analyze the attitude toward cadaveric organ donation and living organ donation between the Uruguayan population residing in Florida (United States) and the Uruguayan population residing in Spain.
Adults born in Uruguay and residing in Florida and Spain were screened. The questionnaire "PCID-DTO Ríos" (donation of cadaveric organs) and "PCID-DVR Ríos" (living renal donation) were used. Subjects were randomly selected according to age and gender stratification. Support from Latin-American immigration associations in Spain and Florida was needed. The survey was anonymized and self-administered. Verbal consent was obtained to collaborate in the study.
Because the emigrant population to Spain is far larger than the emigrant population to the United States, a 2:1 proportional sampling was performed (n = 132). Sixty-seven percent of residents in Spain were in favor of organ donation at the time of death compared with 50% among residents in Florida (P = .082), and 100% of residents in Spain were in favor of living renal donation compared with 50% of those living in Florida (P < .001).
The attitude toward donation is more favorable among Uruguayan emigrants to Spain than emigrants to the United States, especially in related kidney donation.
乌拉圭民众对移植手术较为关注。然而，尚未研究过移民到不同国家后这种认知会如何变化。
分析居住在佛罗里达州（美国）的乌拉圭人群和居住在西班牙的乌拉圭人群对尸体器官捐赠和活体器官捐赠的态度。
对出生于乌拉圭且居住在佛罗里达州和西班牙的成年人进行筛查。使用了“PCID - DTO Ríos”问卷（尸体器官捐赠）和“PCID - DVR Ríos”问卷（活体肾捐赠）。根据年龄和性别分层随机选取受试者。需要西班牙和佛罗里达州的拉丁裔移民协会提供支持。调查采用匿名且自行填写的方式。获得了参与研究的口头同意。
由于移民到西班牙的人口远多于移民到美国的人口，因此进行了2:1的比例抽样（n = 132）。西班牙居民中有67%赞成死后器官捐赠，而佛罗里达州居民中这一比例为50%（P = 0.082）；西班牙居民中有100%赞成活体肾捐赠，而佛罗里达州居民中这一比例为50%（P < 0.001）。
与移民到美国的乌拉圭人相比，移民到西班牙的乌拉圭人对捐赠的态度更为积极，尤其是在肾脏捐赠方面。
