Puerto Rican and Cuban populations are 2 of the most important migration groups in Florida. Awareness about organ donation among them is fundamental. It is important to determine the factors that influence attitudes toward organ donation.
To analyze the attitude toward living kidney donation (LKD) among Florida's Puerto Rican residents.
Study population: Population born in Puerto Rico resident in Florida (United States).
A sample of population older than 15 years was obtained randomly and stratified by age and sex. Instrument valuation: LKD attitude questionnaire Proyecto Colaborativo Internacional Donantesobre Donación de Vivo Renal, Rios.
for the study: Random selection based on stratification. Immigration support associations in Florida were needed to locate potential respondents. Anonymized and self-administered with verbal consent completion.
Of the 259 respondents, 55% (n = 143) are in favor of related LKD (family or friends). The following factors were associated with this attitude: marital status (P = .008); educational level (P < .001); personal experience with organ donation and transplantation (P < .001); attitude toward deceased organ donation (P < .001); realization of prosocial activities (P = .02); family comments about organ donation (P < .001) and comments within couples (P < .001); not being concerned about possible mutilation of the body after donation (P < .001); believing that one's own religion was in favor of donation and transplantation (P < .001); economic incentives of donation (P < .001), and evaluation of the risk from living kidney donation (P < .001). In the multivariate analysis, only marital status is featured as an independent variable (odds ratio, 32.258; P < .001).
The attitude toward related LKD among the Puerto Rican population who resides in Florida is not very favorable; only 55% would do it.
波多黎各人和古巴人群是佛罗里达州两个最重要的移民群体。提高他们对器官捐赠的认识至关重要。确定影响器官捐赠态度的因素很重要。
分析佛罗里达州波多黎各居民对活体肾捐赠（LKD）的态度。
研究人群：出生在波多黎各但居住在佛罗里达州（美国）的人群。
随机抽取15岁以上人群样本，并按年龄和性别分层。工具评估：LKD态度问卷《国际合作项目：关于活体肾捐赠》，里奥斯。
基于分层随机选择。需要佛罗里达州的移民支持协会来确定潜在受访者。匿名且在口头同意后自行填写。
在259名受访者中，55%（n = 143）赞成亲属活体肾捐赠（家人或朋友）。以下因素与这种态度相关：婚姻状况（P = 0.008）；教育程度（P < 0.001）；器官捐赠和移植的个人经历（P < 0.001）；对 deceased 器官捐赠的态度（P < 0.001）；亲社会活动的参与情况（P = 0.02）；家人对器官捐赠的看法（P < 0.001）以及夫妻间的看法（P < 0.001）；不担心捐赠后身体可能的残缺（P < 0.001）；认为自己的宗教支持捐赠和移植（P < 0.001）；捐赠的经济激励（P < 0.001）以及对活体肾捐赠风险的评估（P < 0.001）。在多变量分析中，只有婚姻状况作为独立变量出现（优势比，32.258；P < 0.001）。
居住在佛罗里达州的波多黎各人群对亲属活体肾捐赠的态度不太积极；只有55%的人愿意这样做。
