Attitudes and intentions towards volunteer oocyte donation

‘I feel like they were mine and I should be looking after them’: an exploration of non-patient women's attitudes towards oocyte donation

“…The results obtained in this study provide some insight into why women from general populations report positive attitudes towards oocyte donation, but do not report an intention to donate [e.g., [27][28][29][30]. Past studies have found that attitudes and intentions in the TPB model rarely predict actual behaviours [45].…”

“…The interviews were semi-structured and covered participant's socio-demographic characteristics and key issues that emerged from previous theoretical studies using the TPB [27][28][29][30] were incorporated in the interview topic guide. Specifically, participants were asked to construct meanings around .…”

“…Quantitative studies that have examined women from the general population attitudes towards oocyte donation for treatment and research [e.g., [25][26][27][28][29][30][31] reported positive attitudes towards oocyte donation, but low intentions to donate. However, some of these quantitative studies used psychological health models and found that components of the Theory of Planned Behaviour (TPB) [32] predicted intentions towards oocyte donation for treatment [27][28][29], research [30] and surrogacy [33].…”

To the authors' knowledge, there has been no specific qualitative work with women from the general population regarding their beliefs and perceptions of oocyte donation.…”

Observed Discrepancies in Donors’ Information Sharing and Oocyte-Embryo Management and Disposition Reported to Reproductive Health Professionals: A Call for Programmatic Improvement

“…The increased demand has raised broader social and legal questions about compensation to donors and matching agencies, appropriate disclosure and consent procedures, assurance that egg donors have relinquished their parental rights to the embryos and to future children, and parameters of future contact with the donor-conceived children. Outside the United States, parts of Europe, including the United Kingdom, ajob pr 23 AJOB Primary Research experience an extreme shortage of suitable donors due in part to particular social and legislative policies-prohibiting compensation for donors and requiring egg donors to release their identities and agree to be contacted by the donorconceived children, for example (Murray and Golombok 2000;Purewal and van den Akker 2009a;2009b;2009c).…”
