Objectives: To understand perception of healthcare workers about factors acting as barriers to organ donation and transplantation process in Qatar.Subjects and Methods: A phenomenological approach with the help of focus group discussions was used to fulfill the objectives of the research. Participants were healthcare workers working as volunteers in organ donation campaigns or playing a crucial role in the process of organ donation or transplantation in Qatar. They were selected purposively to participate in the discussions. Open-ended questions were asked during the audio-recorded discussions. Transcripts were coded and assessed using NVivo software. Results were analyzed based on the Theory of Planned Behavior to explore intentions shaping an individual’s donation decision.Results: Lack of awareness and information about the process of organ donation were found to be the root cause barriers for both deceased and living organ donation in Qatar whereas; family, religious and community influences, and an incongruous attitude towards organ donation are the main factors influencing organ donation registration and family consent for deceased donation.Conclusion: Improving awareness and accurate information about organ donation could play significant in increasing deceased and living organ donation in Qatar. However, factors impacting family consent, which was found to be the most prominent reason for gap between availability and utilization of organs, need to be further researched.

There is a growing disparity between the number of organs and tissues needed for transplantation and the number available for donation. As a result, thousands of people die every year while waiting for a transplant. Much of the shortage can be explained by the failure of families to consent to donation. This paper reviews the research that has been conducted to elucidate reasons why families deny consent. This research, together with theoretically motivated research in the areas of persuasion and behavior change, can be used to inform the design of educational and promotional campaigns and to guide policy decisions.

Family Distress

Context: Discussing organ donation wishes with family prior to receiving a request for donation is essential to increase family consent. For young people who have already decided to be a donor (‘young donors’), notifying family is particularly critical. However, many young donors are unaware of the need for this discussion, have low motivation to discuss, and have not notified family of their wishes. Objectives: To explore young donors’ views on, experience with, and suggestions to encourage family discussion, and opinions about advertising/social marketing campaign materials.Participants: Young donors, who were Australian residents (N = 13; 10 females) aged 18-28 years (M = 23.00; SD = 2.74), participated in one of four focus groups. Results: Motivations for family discussion were having their wishes respected by family and reducing family distress. Barriers to discussing were not thinking about it and forgetting unless an immediate opportunity for discussion was provided. Young donors had different approaches to initiating family discussion depending on anticipated family reactions and confidence in discussing; straightforward (‘just say it’) and casual (‘no big deal’) or involving preparation and in-depth discussion. Campaign materials including information and personal stories about transplant recipients were perceived as effective in capturing attention and encouraging family discussion. Conclusions: Gaining the perspective of young donors to encourage family discussion is crucial. Key findings highlighted the need to consider young donors’ approaches to initiating family discussion and incorporating prompts and opportunities to facilitate family discussion in the development of future message appeals.

Background: Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has had a great impact on reducing organ transplantation activities. Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the donation and transplantation activities before and after COVID-19 outbreak in Iran. Methods: This retrospective study compared the donation and transplantation activities in two specific 9-month periods (December 2018 to March 2019 vs. March-December 2020). The questionnaire included the numbers of brain death confirmations, family consents, organ recoveries, and transplanted solid organs. The questionnaire was sent by email to the chief executive of the organ procurement unit. Results: A total of 15 organ procurement units responded to the survey. The largest reduction was seen in tissue transplantations (62.5%) during two time intervals. Brain death due to head trauma significantly decreased in two time intervals and suicide increased by 14.44% during the COVID-19 pandemic compared to 2018-2019 period. Significant reductions between the median of donation (P = 0.0187), median of potential donor (P = 0.005), median of family consent (P = 0.002), and median of eligible donor (P = 0.009) were observed during the two time periods. Conclusions: A significant reduction was observed in organ donation and transplantation during COVID-19 pandemic. Developing protocols and establishing new strategies for evaluation of organ donation to ensure the safety of organ recipients and medical staff is necessary.
