Doação de órgãos e bioética: construindo uma interface

Abstract

This study sought to identify the attitude of nursing undergraduate students concerning organ donation and their knowledge about the current law of organ donation. The last-year nursing undergraduate students from two Colleges in Goiânia (GO) were approached. 45 students answered a questionnaire. A model of content analysis and bioethical principles was used to analyze the answers. The "Maintenance of the life" reveal willingness of subjects to donate organs to help others to stay alive. The "Unreliability" of health professionals for removing organs is associated to the feeling of great vulnerability. There is "Non Information" concerning the legislation in force. These results allow concluding that the donation of organs among subjects cannot be configured as an autonomous action.

Situações significativas no espaço-contexto da hemodiálise: o que dizem os usuários de um serviço?

“…Doação de órgãos ainda é um assunto de pouco domínio público, terreno fértil para a proliferação de mitos, tabus e mal-entendidos, na população. Até mesmo a equipe de saúde não está suficientemente esclarecida para auxiliar nestas questões (15) . Isso leva a refletir e questionar: qual o preparo dos profissionais da saúde para lidarem com estas questões?…”

Doação de órgãos: tema bioético à luz da legislação

“…In these cases, after diagnosis of brain death, several healthy organs could be removed and implanted in those who suffer waiting for a transplant, which, in this way, would achieve a greater degree of well-being. In Brazil, organ donation is still poorly understood by the general population, which implies myths, taboos and misconceptions about the subject, rooted in sociocultural, affective, economic and, above all, ethical issues 20 .…”

“…The value of people is unconditional, which forces others to consider them as ends, not as means, with freedom to live and decide without interference. 20 . Thus, it is possible to consider that all have the capacity to decide whether to donate or not.…”

La relación de bioseguridad con el costo-efectividad en las hospitalizaciones: nexos con la formación continua

“…Los riesgos están presentes en todas las áreas de una institución donde haya contacto con el paciente y/ o sus residuos biológicos 17 . Por eso, al desarrollarse actividades que promueven contacto con sangre y fluídos corporales, los profesionales de salud están expuestos a lo que se denomina Riesgo biológico.…”
