Living donor kidney transplantation is the preferred method of treating kidney failure. The donor agrees to undergo an elective procedure for the benefit of the recipient.
To assess the attitude toward living kidney donation and to investigate the factors that contribute to kidney donation willingness.
A cross-sectional study was carried out between December 2020 and February 2021. The study covered a representative group of 953 Poles aged 18-77, living in all Polish voivodships. The relationship between sociodemographic factors, personal values (Personal Values List), the total score of life satisfaction (Satisfaction with Life Scale) and the willingness to donate a kidney to another human was assessed using a logistic regression model.
The most frequently chosen personal values were: good health; physical and mental fitness; love and friendship; knowledge and wisdom. The most frequently chosen symbols of happiness were: good health, successful family life, being needed by others. The median satisfaction with life for the entire group was 20 [16; 24]. Voluntary donation of a kidney to another human being i.e., family, friends, strangers were more often declared by women (OR = 1.21; Cl95%: 1.03-1.42), for whom the most important symbol of happiness was a life full of adventures, travels (OR = 1.39; Cl95%: 1.06-1.82) and the most important personal value was goodness and tenderness (OR = 1.21; Cl95%: 1.05-1.40). Total scores of The Satisfaction with Life Scale correlated positively with the willingness to voluntarily donate a kidney (OR = 1.03; Cl95%: 1.003-1.06), while age correlated negatively (OR = 0.99; Cl95%: 0.98-0.99).
Respondents who declare their willingness to be a living kidney donor are mainly female, for which the most important symbol of happiness is a life full of adventures and travel, and the most important values are personal goodness and tenderness. The desire to donate a kidney to another person decreases with age and grows with life satisfaction.

活体供肾移植是治疗肾衰竭的首选方法。供体同意接受择期手术,以造福受者。
评估对活体肾脏捐献的态度,并探讨影响肾脏捐献意愿的因素。
本研究为 2020 年 12 月至 2021 年 2 月进行的横断面研究。研究涵盖了来自波兰所有省份的 953 名 18-77 岁的代表性波兰人。使用逻辑回归模型评估了社会人口因素、个人价值观(个人价值观清单)、生活满意度总分(生活满意度量表)与向他人捐赠肾脏的意愿之间的关系。
最常选择的个人价值观是:身体健康;身心健全;爱和友谊;知识和智慧。最常选择的幸福象征是:身体健康、家庭生活美满、被他人需要。整个群体的生活满意度中位数为 20[16;24]。自愿向他人(即家人、朋友、陌生人)捐赠肾脏的人更常为女性(OR=1.21;95%Cl:1.03-1.42),对她们来说,幸福最重要的象征是充满冒险和旅行的生活(OR=1.39;95%Cl:1.06-1.82),最重要的个人价值观是善良和温柔(OR=1.21;95%Cl:1.05-1.40)。生活满意度量表总分与自愿捐赠肾脏的意愿呈正相关(OR=1.03;95%Cl:1.003-1.06),而年龄呈负相关(OR=0.99;95%Cl:0.98-0.99)。
表示愿意成为活体肾脏供体的受访者主要是女性,对她们来说,幸福最重要的象征是充满冒险和旅行的生活,最重要的价值观是个人的善良和温柔。向他人捐赠肾脏的愿望会随着年龄的增长而减少,而随着生活满意度的提高而增加。
