the latin american population in spain and Organ Donation attitude toward deceased Organ Donation and Organ Donation rates
Transplant International, 2015Co-Authors: A Rios, A Lopeznavas, Juan Carlos Navalon, L Martinezalarcon, Marco Antonio Ayalagarcia, Maria Jose Sebastianruiz, Francisco Moyafaz, G Garrido, P Ramirez, Pascual ParrillaAbstract:UNLABELLED: The Latin American (LA) population has similarities with the Spanish population which makes its integration into Spanish society easier. OBJECTIVE: to analyze the attitude toward Organ Donation among Latin American citizens residing in Spain, to determine the psychosocial variables which affect this attitude, and to examine the correlation between Donation rates of LA citizens in Spain and in their countries of origin. A random sample of LA residents in Spain was taken and stratified according to the respondent's nationality (n = 1.314), in the year 2010. Attitude was assessed using a validated questionnaire (PCID-DTO Dr Rios). The survey was self-administered and completed anonymously. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: Student's t-test, the χ(2) test, and logistic regression analysis. There was a 94% completion rate (n = 1.237). Attitude toward Donation was favorable in 60% of cases (n = 745), 12% (n = 145) were against, and 28% (n = 347) were undecided. The following variables were associated with attitude toward Donation: sex (P = 0.038), level of formal education (P < 0.001), country of origin (P = 0.002), attitude toward the Donation of a family member's Organs (P < 0.001), having discussed Donation with the family (P < 0.001), carrying out prosocial activities (P = 0.025), attitude toward cremation of the body (P < 0.001), attitude toward burial of the body (P < 0.001), attitude toward having an autopsy carried out (P < 0.001), previous experience of the Organ Donation and transplantation process (P < 0.001), fear of mutilation after Donation (P < 0.001), knowledge that the Church has a positive attitude toward Organ Donation and transplantation (P < 0.001), knowledge of one's partner's attitude toward Organ Donation (P < 0.001), and a belief that one might need a transplant in the future (P < 0.001). The Donation rates in this population group in Spain are higher than those recorded in their countries of origin (55.76 vs. <10 pmp; P < 0.001). The attitude toward Organ Donation among LA citizens residing in Spain is slightly worse than that reported in the native Spanish population and is determined by many psychosocial factors. The Donation rates of LA citizens in Spain are higher than those in their countries of origin.

socio personal profile of teenagers opposed to Organ Donation
Nephrology Dialysis Transplantation, 2004Co-Authors: C Conesa, P Ramirez, M M Rodriguez, M Canteras, Antonio Rios Zambudio, P ParrillaAbstract:BACKGROUND: The teenage population has a more favourable attitude towards Organ Donation than other population groups. Teenagers represent the future of the community and their opinion directly affects other family members and friends. Therefore, teenagers who are in favour of Donation become promoters of Organ Donation in their area of influence. Our aim was to determine the opinion and fears of the teenage population regarding Organ Donation in order to define the profile of the subgroup, which is opposed to Donation. METHODS: We used a random stratified sample according to gender and geographical location of 15-19-year-old adolescents. The attitude towards Organ Donation was assessed using the questionnaire on psychosocial aspects of Donation. The variables were grouped into socio-personal, Donation awareness, social interaction, pro-social activities and attitude towards the body. Data were analysed by descriptive statistics, the chi(2) test, Student's t-test and a logistic regression analysis. RESULTS: Seventy-three per cent of teenagers have a favourable attitude towards Organ Donation. Twenty-seven per cent are undecided or have negative attitudes; the main reason given is fear of apparent death (48%). Variables with statistical significance, which are against Donation, are a low level of education (P = 0.0456), no previous experience with Organ Donation (P = 0.0254), no knowledge of the brain death concept (P = 0.0054) and refusal to accept cadaver manipulation (P = 0.0037). CONCLUSION: The profile of the teenager who is opposed to Organ Donation is one who has only primary schooling or who left school early, is not engaged in pro-social activities, rejects cadaver manipulation and has no knowledge of the brain death concept.

psychosocial profile in favor of Organ Donation
Transplantation Proceedings, 2003Co-Authors: C Conesa, A Rios, P Ramirez, M M Rodriguez, P Rivas, M Canteras, P ParrillaAbstract:Abstract Introduction The lack of Organ Donation continues to be a major limiting factor in transplantation. Our aims are: (1) to define the psychosocial profile against Organ Donation, and (2) to determine the impact of a law on the procurement and transplantation of Organs based on “presumed consent” in the population. Material and methods The population in this study (n = 2000) was randomly selected and stratified according to sex, age, and geographic localization. The attitude toward Organ Donation and transplantation was evaluated according to a questionnaire that probed psychosocial aspects of Donation. Statistical comparisons were performed using the χ2 and logistic regression tests. Results The population attitude toward Organ Donation was favorable in 63% of subjects, unfavorable in 31%, and 6% did not respond. With regard to the law based on “presumed consent,” only 24% of the population agreed with the law; 53% thought it was an abuse of authority. The population subgroup with a negative attitude to the law was characterized by: age over 40 years, low educational level, no previous experience with Organ Donation or transplant, no experience in prosocial activities, a refusal to accept cadaver manipulation or mutilation, and lack of knowledge of the brain-death concept. Conclusion The psychosocial profile against Donation is a person above 40 years with a low level of education who has never performed prosocial activities, did not have previous experience with Organ Donation or transplantation, displays no knowledge of the brain-death concept, and rejects cadaver manipulation. For these people a law based on “presumed consent” is considered an abuse of authority.
