Exploring the spiritual cognition of human organ donation registration volunteers, aiming to provide new ideas for promoting the development of organ donation through this perspective.
This qualitative research was conducted following the conventional content analysis method. 10 registered volunteers for human organ donation were selected from July to December 2023 for face-to-face semi-structured interviews. Snowball sampling was employed to select the participants. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted for data gathering. Theoretical saturation was achieved through 10 interviews. Colaizzi phenomenological 7-step analysis method was used to analyze the interview content.
The spirituality of registered volunteers for human organ donation can be summarized into three themes and seven sub themes: ① Spiritual Understanding (Love & Life Extension, Dedication to society, Death elevates life); ② The Supporting Role of Spirituality (Become a spiritual motivation for a better life, self-transcendence ); ③ The Spiritual Emotional Value of Organ Donation (Sense of accomplishment and pride, Sense of complexity and ambivalence).
The willingness to donate organs is closely related to spirituality. By understanding the spirituality of this group, it is possible to take an important step in promoting the development of organ donation.
探索人体器官捐献登记志愿者的精神认知，旨在从这一视角为推动器官捐献发展提供新思路。
本定性研究采用常规内容分析法。于2023年7月至12月选取10名人体器官捐献登记志愿者进行面对面半结构式访谈。采用滚雪球抽样法选取参与者。通过深入半结构式访谈收集数据。经10次访谈达到理论饱和。运用柯莱齐现象学7步分析法对访谈内容进行分析。
人体器官捐献登记志愿者的精神性可归纳为三个主题和七个子主题：①精神认知（爱与生命延续、奉献社会、死亡升华生命）；②精神性的支撑作用（成为美好生活的精神动力、自我超越）；③器官捐献的精神情感价值（成就感与自豪感、复杂与矛盾感）。
器官捐献意愿与精神性密切相关。了解该群体的精神性，有助于在推动器官捐献发展方面迈出重要一步。
