“…Apart from agreeableness, the trait of conscientiousness as a predictor of donation behaviours was mentioned by Bolt et al (2011) and Fig. 3 Algorithm of construction of decision tree CART concerning registration as PBMDvariables ordered according to their normalized importance score for tree Demir and Kumkale (2013). This is in contrast with the results obtained by Kline et al (2017), where conscientiousness was not related with prosocial behaviours, and Brown and Taylor (2015), who defined the traits of conscientiousness and neuroticim as even inversely correlated with behaviours of charity and philantrophic type (e.g., donating money and decisions to provide assistance).…”

“…Bekkers (2006) indicated that blood and organ donation were positively correlated with Agreeableness, whereas charity was positively associated with Openness and Extraversion. The study by Bolt et al (2011) and Demir and Kumkale (2013) confirmed the relationship between the decision about donation of the body after death with agreeableness and conscientiousness; however, Bolt et al did not prove such a relationship among the elderly (2011), which suggests a greater readiness for such behaviours in young persons. No other personality dimensions were predictive of organ donation outcomes, for example, conscientiousness.…”

Most of the studies about donation decisions focus on some personality factors, self-esteem or some family characteristics as separate sources of influence and do not take into account interdependence of these variables. The study attempts to conceptualize and validate an integrative framework, based on SCT A. Bandura, incorporating personal, environmental and behavioural determinants of the decision to register as a potential bone marrow donor. The study hypothesizes and tests the interdependent variables model of personality traits, self-esteem, practical past prosocial behaviours and family functionality as the key determinants of the decision of registration as potential bone marrow donor (PBMD) on the sample of 305 Polish young adults aged 18-25 years. The study was conducted using Polish versions of the following questionnaires: TIPI by Gosling et al. for measurement of the Big Five personality traits, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (SES), PBQ (based on the Self-Report Altruism Scale by Rushton) by Moroń, and Family Apgar scale by Smilkstein for assessing family function. The results obtained due to using a hybrid data-mining' techniques LR and CART, allow the formulation of predictive equations defining the probability of making the decision to register as a potential bone marrow donor as a result of personality traits of agreeableness, conscientiousness, and self-esteem, as well as positive affect in family modelling and adaptation. However, the negative role of past prosocial behaviours, also demonstrated in research, requires further explanations. Although these methods may supplement the existing statistical models and contribute to the interpretation of factors of decision concerning the registration as a PBMD, further testing of the model according to the investigated variables requires the use of casual modelling methods in order to verify hypotheses concerning the occurrence of a specified structure of relationships between these variables.

“…In the case of posthumous organ donation, signing a donor card is far more important than showing only willingness to donate (Demir & Kumkale, 2013). Previous studies have argued that people tend to show their willingness to donate but when it comes to signing the organ donor cards, many are reluctant to do so (Morgan & Miller, 2002;Ali et al, 2013;Park, Smith, & Yun, 2009).…”

Purpose: The main purpose of this study was to identify factors that were important in posthumous organ donation decisions in a developing country such as Pakistan. Methodology: A qualitative study was conducted with 50 semi-structured interviews among students of one public and one private university in Lahore (Pakistan) to understand their attitudes and factors influencing their decisions on posthumous organ donations. Purposive sampling technique was used in this study. The interview questions focused on the level of knowledge, motivation and overall attitude towards the posthumous organ donation decision of the respondents. Main Findings: There was a lack of general knowledge among university students in Pakistan. Most of the students had a positive attitude for posthumous organ donation yet moral norms are very influential in the decision-making process for organ donation after death. Those who were willing were reluctant because of the influence of family and friends. Religion was also another significant norm factor for prohibiting them to be an organ donor after death. Implications/Applications: The present study provided a way in the advancement of knowledge towards an understanding of the attitude, moral norms along with social and family influence for not only intention to donate but also signing the donor card. The findings of the study are useful for the government, policymakers and the organizations in Pakistan in their efforts to increase awareness and organ donation rates in the country. Novelty/Originality: The present research was exploratory and the intention for this research was to explore the underlying behavioral and normative beliefs which may inhibit or encourage organ donation among university students. Such qualitative studies are relatively uncommon in transplant literature.

“…Ayrıca yapılan çalışmalar organ bağışının İslam dinine uygun olmadığı ve vücut bütünlüğünün korunması gerektiği inanışının, din adamları arasında da yaygın olduğunu göstermiştir (Güden, 2007;Conesa ve diğer., 2003). Demir ve Kumkale (2013), organ bağışçısı olma istekliliğine ilişkin bireysel farklılıkları inceledikleri çalışmalarında, dindarlık düzeyinin bağış kararını etkileyen önemli bir etmen olduğu görülmüştür. Dindarlık düzeyinin düşük olması bağışçı olma olasılığını arttırırken ılımlı dindarlık durumunda bilgi düzeyinin ve sorumluluk duygusunun önem kazandığı görülmektedir.…”

ÖZGünümüz tıp teknolojisinin en önemli gelişmelerinden biri olan organ nakli, daha uzun ve kaliteli bir yaşam sunmaktadır. Ancak organ nakilleri bağışlanan organ sayısıyla sınırlı kalmaktadır ve organ temini ve talebi arasındaki giderek artan uçurum pek çok hastanın umudunu ve yaşamını kaybetmesi anlamına gelmektedir. Var olan organ bağışı kıtlığı, organ bağışına yönelik tutumların anlaşılmasının önemini daha da arttırmıştır. Dolayısıyla bireyin bağış yapma istekliliğine ilişkin demografik etkenleri, inançları ve tutumları belirleyen çalışmaların da giderek arttığını görmekteyiz. Ancak ülkemizde ve tüm batı ülkelerinde uygulamada mevzuata uygun olarak, organ temini nihayetinde ölen kişinin ailesinin kararına bağlıdır ve ülkemizde ailelerin %75'i ölen yakınlarının organlarını bağışlamayı reddetmektedir. Bu nedenle aile kararını etkileyen etkenlerin belirlenmesi bağış oranlarını artırmak açısından büyük önem taşımaktadır. Organ bağış sürecinde bağışı kabul eden ve etmeyen aileler ile yürütülmüş çalışmalar incelendiğinde en yaygın aile ret nedenlerinin beyin ölümünü anlamama, ölen kişinin isteği hakkında bilgi sahibi olma, kültürel/dini inançlar ve sağlık personelinin aileye yaklaşımı başlıklarının olduğu görülmektedir. Bu yazının amacı organ bağışında aile kararını etkileyen etkenler ve ülkemizde gerçekleştirilmiş olan görgül çalışmalar hakkında bilgi vermektir. www.nesnedergisi.com 132 A Review on Family Approval on Organ DonationABSTRACT Transplantation, one of the most important advances of modern medical technology, offers patients longer and quality of life. However, transplantation is limited by the number of organs donated and also the growing gap between organ supply and demand means that many patients lose their hopes and lives. The shortage of organs has increased the importance of understanding the attitudes towards organ donation and we see an increase in the number of studies highlighting the demographic factors, beliefs and attitudes relating to the individual's willingness to donate. In our country and all western countries in accordance with legislation, organ donation depends on the decision of the family of cadaver and 75% of decasead donor families in our country refuse to donate. For this reason, determining the factors affecting the family decision is of great importance in terms of increasing the donation rates. When examining studies conducted with donor and non-donor families in the organ donation process it is seen that the the significant factors associated with denial of consent are the misunderstanding of brain death; knowledge about the deceased's wishes; cultural/religious beliefs; and the approach of the individual making the request. The purpose of this article is to give information about the reasons of denial of consent in the organ donation and the empirical studies carried out in our country.
