To examine the mediating role of coping flexibility in the relationship between traumatic experiences and attitudes toward organ donation among healthcare workers involved in organ procurement surgery. This was a cross-sectional study. Data were collected from 170 healthcare workers with experience in organ procurement surgeries for brain-dead patients at 4 hospitals in South Korea between June 16 and September 30, 2021. The study utilized questionnaires assessing traumatic experience, coping flexibility and attitude toward organ donation. Data were analyzed using the PROCESS macro (IBM SPSS Statistics 28.0). Coping flexibility significantly mediated the relationship between traumatic experiences and attitudes toward organ donation. Traumatic experiences related to organ procurement surgery negatively influenced coping flexibility, while higher coping flexibility was associated with more positive attitudes toward organ donation. Developing educational programs to enhance coping flexibility and regularly assess psychological well-being may improve healthcare workers' attitudes toward organ donation and support their mental health after trauma exposure.
为了检验应对灵活性在参与器官获取手术的医护人员的创伤经历与器官捐赠态度之间的关系中所起的中介作用。这是一项横断面研究。2021年6月16日至9月30日期间，从韩国4家医院的170名有脑死亡患者器官获取手术经验的医护人员中收集数据。该研究使用了评估创伤经历、应对灵活性和器官捐赠态度的问卷。数据使用PROCESS宏（IBM SPSS Statistics 28.0）进行分析。应对灵活性显著中介了创伤经历与器官捐赠态度之间的关系。与器官获取手术相关的创伤经历对应对灵活性产生负面影响，而更高的应对灵活性与对器官捐赠更积极的态度相关。制定提高应对灵活性的教育计划并定期评估心理健康状况，可能会改善医护人员对器官捐赠的态度，并在创伤暴露后支持他们的心理健康。
