A dramatic growth has been seen in the number of organ procurement organizations, transplant programs, and new initiatives related to solving the organ shortage, as well as in the development of protocols dealing with the logistics of facilitating organ and tissue recovery. Extensive deliberation on critical issues related to the organ donor shortage is evident in professional meetings, publications, and educational endeavors. Little research has been conducted, however, regarding direct contact between donor families and recipients, a highly controversial subject in transplantation and procurement. Should there be contact between donor families and recipients? What format should such contacts take? Who should decide? These are questions that must be considered in the field. This article will explore an organ procurement organization's 5-year experience regarding direct contact between donor families and recipients.
器官采购组织、移植项目以及与解决器官短缺相关的新举措的数量显著增长，同时在处理促进器官和组织获取物流的协议方面也有发展。在专业会议、出版物和教育活动中，对与器官捐赠者短缺相关的关键问题进行了广泛讨论。然而，关于捐赠者家属与受者之间的直接接触，这一在移植和采购中极具争议的主题，却鲜有研究。捐赠者家属与受者之间应该有接触吗？这种接触应采取何种形式？由谁来决定？这些都是该领域必须考虑的问题。本文将探讨一个器官采购组织在捐赠者家属与受者直接接触方面的5年经验。
