“…The questionnaire was developed based on an expanded Morgan's Organ Donation Model. The procedure for developing the questionnairehas been described elsewhere [32]. Briefly, following a critical evaluation of existing literature and consoling with two local authoritiesof organ donation and transplant cases, to reflect the construct of the model, initial draft of the questionnaire was generated.…”

Background Shortage of organs for transplantation is still considered to be a global concern, especially in developing countries such as Iran. Identifying factors contributing to the individual's decision to be a donor in a given society is critical to address the shortage of organ donors. The purpose of this study was to use a culturally modified Organ Donation Model (ODM) to explore the significant factors and ways in which these factors could influence signing the donor card.Methods This study was a cross-sectional design conducted among 600 employees from 57 offices in Hamadan, in the west of Iran, in 2018. Participants were selected randomly and surveyed on being a donor and as well on their perceptions regarding signing the donor card. Structural equation modeling (SEM) was conducted to determine the inter-relationship between the studied variables.Results: The mean age of participants was 39.5 (SD=7.0). Twenty percent of participants (n=120) had a signed donor card. Overall structural model provided a good fit with the data[χ2= 1172.964 (df=643, p<0.001), CFI=0.910, TLI= 0.902, RMSEA=0.037 (90% CI, 0.034 - 0.040). descriptive norms (β= 0.53, p<0.001), non-cognitive beliefs (i.e; Jinx factor, Ick factor, mistrust to medical system and body integrity (β= -0.33, p<0.001), anticipated regret (β= 0.28, p<0.001) and subjective norms (β= -0.17, p<0.01) had significant direct effects on signing the donor card.Conclusions This study provides socio-culturally informed evidence on individuals' signing donor card. To combat the shortage of organs for transplantation, these factors could provide a guide to policymakers in developing the community- based interventions.

“…Measures were conducted using a self‐administered questionnaire. The procedure for developing the questionnaire has been described elsewhere (Khoshravesh et al, 2020). We measured attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioural control, anticipated regret, descriptive norms, non‐cognitive beliefs [medical mistrust, bodily integrity, ick factor, jinx factor], religious beliefs and intention to signing the donor card using had a 5‐point Likert scale (1 = strongly disagree, 2 = disagree, 3 = neutral, 4 = agree, 5 = strongly agree).…”

“…The procedure of developing the questionnaire has been described elsewhere. 33 Briefly, the development of the scale involved the critical evaluation of existing literature and consulting with local authorities to generate the initial draft of the questionnaire, and evaluating the reliability and validity (i.e., face, content, and construct validity) of the scale. The survey scale consisted of items for measurement of general characteristics, the status of having the organ donation card, and antecedent factors of expanded Morgan's Organ Donation Model.…”
