The supply of donor organs available for transplantation far exceeds demand in Israel. Organ donation is perceived by many believers as contravening the tenets of their religion. This study investigates the different attitudes toward organ donation of members of the 3 major religions by subgroups and level of religiosity.
A large convenience sample of Muslims, Jews, and Christians of all subgroups completed questionnaires on organ donation.
Notwithstanding the sanctioning by the 3 religions of organ donation, both live and postmortem, the general public demonstrates different levels of disinclination to donate, which is characterized by affiliation to religious subgroups or non-affiliation and the decisions of religious authorities. The secular constitutes an exception within all 3 religions for all research variables. Religious belief as well as its absence are central factors in making personal decisions about organ donation.
To increase organ donation, campaigns aimed at educating the public must consider the religious rulings of each religion and its subgroups and work with their spiritual leaders. Hospital nurses, in particular, who are often closest to the family of a candidate for organ donation, should be familiar with official religious stances on organ donation issues.
在以色列，可供移植的捐献器官的供应远远超过需求。许多信徒认为器官捐赠违反了他们宗教的教义。本研究通过亚群和宗教信仰程度来调查 3 大宗教的成员对器官捐赠的不同态度。
一个由穆斯林、犹太教和基督教的所有亚群组成的大型便利样本完成了器官捐赠的问卷。
尽管 3 种宗教都允许活体和死后的器官捐赠，但公众普遍表现出不同程度的不愿意捐赠，这表现在宗教亚群的归属或不归属以及宗教当局的决定。在所有 3 种宗教中，世俗派都是所有研究变量的例外。宗教信仰以及缺乏宗教信仰是个人器官捐赠决定的核心因素。
为了增加器官捐赠，旨在教育公众的运动必须考虑到每个宗教及其亚群的宗教规定，并与他们的精神领袖合作。特别是医院护士，他们通常与器官捐献候选人的家属最为接近，应该熟悉器官捐赠问题的官方宗教立场。
