“…The majority of studies located focus on brain death and organ donation and, in particular, the public's lack of knowledge surrounding brain death determination when making donation decisions. [31][32][33][34][35] Studies have demonstrated that some people feel that if they agree to organ donation for their loved one, those patients may be diagnosed as dead too soon. 17,52 One study showed that although 80.1% of family members would allow for organ donation after the death of a consenting relative, this rate dropped by 20% when the word death was substituted with brain death, revealing a lack of either understanding or acceptance of the concept and their legal equivalence.…”

Background. Advances in medicine and technology that have made it possible to support, repair, or replace failing organs challenge commonly held notions of life and death. The objective of this review is to develop a comprehensive description of the current understandings of the public regarding the meaning/definition and determination of death. Methods. This scoping review was conducted in compliance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews checklist. Online databases were used to identify articles published from 2003 to 2021. Two reviewers (S.S. and K.Z.) screened the articles using predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data for specific content variables, and performed descriptive examination. Complementary searches of reference lists complemented the final study selection. A search strategy using vocabulary of the respective databases was created, and criteria for the inclusion and exclusion of the articles were established. Results. Seven thousand four hundred twenty-eight references were identified. Sixty were retained for analysis, with 4 additional references added from complementary searches. A data extraction instrument was developed to iteratively chart the results. A qualitative approach was conducted to thematically analyze the data. Themes included public understanding/attitudes toward death and determination of death (neurological determination and cardiocirculatory determination of death), death and organ donation, public trust and legal variability, and media impacts. Conclusions. This review provides a current and comprehensive overview of the literature related to the general public's understanding and attitudes toward death and death determination and serves to highlight the gaps in this topic.

“…Students in this study also believe that donation saves lives. This perception was also identified in studies carried out with the general population in Malaysia and Turkey (2,9) . This idea seems to be widespread and common in the representation of organ and tissue donation in society, which includes health care students.…”

“…Worldwide, the number of patients on the transplant waiting list has increased over the years, mainly due to non-communicable chronic diseases and the population's lifestyle. Consequently, the number of donations has become insufficient to cover the demand (1)(2) . This reality is also seen in Brazil, where in 2020, 10.618 potential donors were identified, but only 3.323 (31.29%) came through (3) .…”

“…The performance of health professionals, especially during the family interview, can reinforce or debunk negative beliefs about organ donation, as these professionals are the link between the population and the health system and have credibility in society (2,5,14) . However, the literature demonstrates the unpreparedness of professionals in the entire donation process; this may be associated with their training (15) , as there is a gap in the curricula, especially in nursing courses (1,(15)(16)(17)(18) .…”

Objectives: to analyze the opinions of healthcare students on organ and tissue donation for transplantation. Methods: qualitative document analysis study, using the records of a database and analyzing data from two perspectives: 1) Lexical analysis, with the IRAMUTEQ software, and 2) Thematic content analysis. Results: from the analysis, 3 main categories were generated: 1) Organ and tissue donation as an act of love for others and an opportunity of a new beginning; 2) Clarification and awareness on organ and tissue donation; and 3) Importance of communicating the family and promoting organ and tissue donation. Final Considerations: despite being in favor of donation, students also recognize the presence of social taboos; the discussion in the family nucleus, promoting the theme and raising awareness in society are considered important. Additionally, the education of students is one of the possibilities of intervention for the issue.

“…Social media has different effects on individuals with different occupations. In particular, blood donation attitudes and behaviors differ among different occupational blood donors (Lim et al, 2020). For example, the proportion of students is relatively high (Murtagh and Katulamu, 2021), but because students have high mobility, as discussed previously (Potapnev et al, 2012), the likelihood of fixed blood donation is small.…”

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to explore the impact of WeChat public platforms (abbreviated as WPP) on blood donation behavior using data from the platforms’ backend and information system.Design/methodology/approachFirst, this paper established a time-varying difference-in-difference (DID) model to evaluate the change before and after following the WPP under normal scenarios. The difference-in-difference-in-difference (DDD) method was further used to analyze the heterogeneous effects of gender, age, occupation and education. Second, a logit model was used to examine the impact of WPP on blood donation behavior under emergency scenarios (i.e. COVID-19).FindingsThe research shows that following WPP has a positive impact on donation volume. For each donor, the average blood donation volume after following WPP increased by 12.94% compared to before following. The WPP has a greater impact on groups with males, medical staff, middle-aged individuals and those with primary school education. Following WPP also enhanced blood donation behavior in emergency scenarios. During the COVID-19 pandemic, the probability of fans donating blood was 2.6% higher than non-fans, and the average blood donation volume of fans was 7.04% higher than non-fans, which was 5.9% lower than in normal scenarios.Originality/valueFor theory, this paper quantified the impact of WPP on blood donation behavior in normal and emergency scenarios and addressed the research gap surrounding the impact exerted by social media on blood donation behavior. For methodology, the time-varying DID model, DDD model and logit model were applied to the field of blood donation, which expanded the application scenarios. For practice, the findings are of great significance for recruiting blood donors and providing evidence for promotion on WPP.
