Latin American immigrants comprise an important population group in the United States. The purpose of this study was to analyze the attitude toward living kidney donation found among Latin American citizens who are residents in Florida and to identify the psychosocial variables affecting their attitude.
A sample of Latin American residents in the state of Florida was randomly obtained and stratified by nationality, age, and sex (n = 1524). Attitude was assessed through a validated questionnaire that was self-administered and completed anonymously. Descriptive, Student test and the χ test were used to analyze findings.
The questionnaire completion rate was 94% (N = 1433), with 59% (n = 845) in favor of related living donation, 40% (n = 571) were opposed to donation, with the remaining 1% (n = 17) undecided. The following variables were related to attitude toward living donation: country of origin ( < .001), marital status ( < .001), having descendants ( = .004), educational background ( < 0.001), having had previous experience of donation and transplantation ( < .001), attitude toward deceased donation ( < .001), considering the possibility of needing a transplant ( < .001), the respondent's partner's opinion ( < .001), having considered the subject with one's family ( < .001), having carried out prosocial type activities ( < .001), the respondent's religion ( < .001), knowing that one's religion is in favor of this therapy ( < .001), concern about mutilation after donation ( < .001), and considerations of the risks of living donation ( < .001).
The attitude toward related living kidney donation of Latin American residents in Florida is not very favorable (only 59%).

随机抽取佛罗里达州的拉丁裔居民样本，并按国籍、年龄和性别进行分层（n = 1524）。通过一份经过验证的问卷进行自我评估，问卷采用匿名方式填写。采用描述性统计、学生t检验和卡方检验分析研究结果。
问卷完成率为94%（N = 1433），其中59%（n = 845）赞成亲属活体捐赠，40%（n = 571）反对捐赠，其余1%（n = 17）未作决定。以下变量与活体捐赠态度相关：原籍国（P <.001）、婚姻状况（P <.001）、有无子女（P =.004）、教育背景（P < 0.001）、既往有无捐赠和移植经历（P <.001）、对尸体捐赠的态度（P <.001）、考虑自身是否有接受移植的可能性（P <.001）、受访者伴侣的意见（P <.001）、是否与家人讨论过该问题（P <.001）、是否参与过公益活动（P <.001）、受访者的宗教信仰（P <.001）、是否知晓其宗教支持这种治疗方式（P <.001）、对捐赠后身体残缺的担忧（P <.001）以及对活体捐赠风险的考虑（P <.001）。
