The purpose of this study was to use a culturally modified Organ Donation Model (ODM) to explore the significant factors and ways in which these factors could influence signing the donor card.
This cross-sectional study was conducted among 600 employees from 57 offices in Hamadan, Iran, in 2018. Participants were selected randomly and surveyed on being a donor and their perceptions regarding signing the donor card. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was conducted to determine the inter-relationship between the studied variables.
Participants' mean age was 39.5 (SD = 7.0). 20% of participants had a signed donor card. Descriptive norms (β = 0.53, p < 0.001), non-cognitive beliefs (β=-0.33, p < 0.001), anticipated regret (β = 0.28, p < 0.001) and subjective norms (β=-0.17, p < 0.01) had significant direct effects on signing the donor card.
This study provides socio-culturally informed evidence on individuals' signing donor card. These factors could provide a guide to policymakers to develop the community-based interventions.
本研究旨在使用经过文化修正的器官捐献模型（ODM）来探讨影响签署捐献卡的重要因素及其影响方式。
本横断面研究于 2018 年在伊朗哈马丹的 57 个办公室中对 600 名员工进行。采用随机抽样方法对参与者进行了捐赠者身份调查以及对签署捐献卡的看法的调查。采用结构方程模型（SEM）来确定所研究变量之间的相互关系。
参与者的平均年龄为 39.5（SD=7.0）。20%的参与者签署了捐献卡。描述性规范（β=0.53，p<0.001）、非认知信念（β=-0.33，p<0.001）、预期遗憾（β=0.28，p<0.001）和主观规范（β=-0.17，p<0.01）对签署捐献卡具有显著的直接影响。
本研究提供了有关个体签署捐献卡的社会文化信息。这些因素可以为政策制定者提供制定基于社区的干预措施的指南。
