“…The reasons mentioned were essentially the willing to stop dialysis and to improve the quality of life. The improvement of life quality has also been mentioned by patients in several studies [8] [9] [10] [15]. The lack of facilities for adequate haemodialysis in developing countries in general is a source of high rate of mortality and poor quality of life.…”

Background: Kidney Transplantation is the best treatment for patients in end stage renal disease. It's a new therapeutic approach for such patients in Cote d'Ivoire which is expected to develop. Aim: Determine the adherence factors affecting kidney transplant recipient among patients on maintenance haemodialysis in Cote d'Ivoire and point out possible obstacles to the development of this new practice in the country. Patients and Methods: This was a cross-sectional study carried out from May to June 2016 in the Haemodialysis Centres of Abidjan. Any patient aged ≥18 years, on haemodialysis for at least 6 months, who signed the inform consent were subjected to a questionnaire. None of the respondents had been transplanted. The subjects addressed in the document were sociocultural status, opinion related to kidney transplantation and willingness to be transplanted or not and the reasons. A statistical analysis was performed to determine factors associated with kidney transplantation desire. Results: We included 295 (71.53% males) patients, with a mean age of 44.53 ± 12.09 years. Among this population, 36.61% had a higher level of education, 70.85% were Christians, 66.44% lived with partners, 56.61% had no income and 74.92% were treated in Public Health Centres. The median duration on dialysis was 34 months. A total of 287 (97.29%) patients had already heard of kidney transplantation among which 149 (51.94%) for the first time after initiation of haemodialysis. There was 231 (78.31%) patients willing to be transplanted with only 91 (39.39%) of them having a potential living donors. The main motivations were the desire to stop dialysis (52.38%) and the search for a better quality of life (41.13%). Among the 64 (21.69%) patients unfa- vourable to renal transplantation, 45.31% raised its higher cost compared to haemodialysis. Duration on haemodialysis (>34 months) was significantly higher in patients willing to be transplanted compare to non-applicants (51.95% versus 37.50%, p < 0.04). Factors associated with renal transplantation willingness were younger age (<45 years) (OR = 2.14 CI: 1.12 -4.06 p = 0.02), longer median duration on dialysis (>34 months) (OR = 2.12 CI: 1.15 -3.88 p = 0.01) and the Christian religion (OR = 0.43 CI: 0.20 -0.92 p = 0.03). Conclusion: Almost all patients on maintenance haemodialysis were willing to be transplanted. However, the rate of living donor remains insufficient. For the non-seekers, the high cost of the process remains the main obstacle to kidney transplantation. Transplantation should be given more attention and political support economically by the Government to allow its development in Cote d'Ivoire.

“…Not only from a lifesaving perspective but also for improved quality of life and economic benefits, transplantation has become the gold standard treatment of choice (15,16). Despite its positive outcomes, patients' knowledge about KT in our country and around the world has been found to be limited (5,6,9,12). In this study, it was found that, contrary to other studies, a major segment of the patients had knowledge about kidney transplantation.…”

“…The main reasons for this discrepancy are: an insufficient number of kidneys introduced into the system (supply-demand imbalance), the opposition of patients to kidney transplantation, and a lack of knowledge about kidney transplantation. Therefore, patients generally make a choice between HD and peritoneal dialysis (4)(5)(6). The aim of the present study was to evaluate hemodialysis patients' knowledge about and attitudes toward KT in our country and to use these data to develop strategies and policies.…”

OBJECTIVE:The aim of the present study was to evaluate hemodialysis (HD) patients' knowledge about and attitudes towards Kidney Transplantation (KT). MATERIAL and METHODS:A total of 104 HD patients from two HD centers in a large city in central Turkey were included in this descriptive study. The questionnaire that was developed by researchers included questions on sociodemographic data and dialysis vintage, level of satisfaction resulting from HD treatment, willingness to undergo KT, knowledge about KT and choice of donor, etc. RESULTS:The mean age of the 104 patients was 60.03±17.01 years and the mean of dialysis vintage was 4.53±3.04 years. Of these patients, 62.5% declared their willingness to undergo KT, and among these, 76.9% declared that they had knowledge about KT. In regard to choice of donor, 79.7% stated that it was not important, while 56.7% were not informed about the existence of a waiting list for cadaveric donors. CONCLUSION:In order to increase in our country the number of cadaveric donors, which represent the most appropriate source of organ donation, several strategies should be considered, such as awareness-raising activities for patients and the community through campaigns by both the public and private sectors, and mass media. KEY WORDS:Attitude, Kidney transplantation, Knowledge ÖZ AMAÇ: Çalışmada, hemodiyaliz (HD) hastalarının böbrek nakli hakkındaki bilgi ve tutumları değerlendirilmektedir. GEREÇ ve YÖNTEMLER:Tanımlayıcı tipteki bu çalışma, Türkiye'nin büyük bir kentinde iki HD merkezinde, araştırmaya katılmayı kabul eden 104 HD hastası ile yürütülmüştür. Veriler, hastaların sosyodemografik verileri ve diyaliz süresi, HD tedavisinden memnuniyet durumları, böbrek nakli için gönüllü olma, böbrek nakli ve donör seçimi hakkında bilgi durumu gibi soruların yer aldığı ve araştırmacılar tarafından geliştirilen anket formu ile toplanmıştır. BULGULAR:Hastaların yaş ortalamaları 60,03±17,01 ve ortalama diyaliz süresi 4,53±3,04 yıldır. Hastaların %76,9'u nakil hakkında bilgi sahibi olduğunu belirtirken, %62,5'i böbrek nakli olmak istediklerini ifade etmiştir. Nakil olmak isteyen hastalardan %79,7'si için donör tipi önemli değildi. Hastaların %56,7'si gibi önemli bir oranı ise kadavra bekleme listesindeki mevcut durumu hakkında bilgisi olmadığını belirtmiştir. SONUÇ:Ülkemizde böbrek nakli sayısının artırılması için en uygun donör olan kadavra vericilerinin sayısının arttırılması amacıyla gerek devlet gerekse özel hizmet veren tüm kuruluşlar tarafından kampanyaların düzenlenmesi, internet siteleri ve medya aracılığıyla hastaların ve toplumun bilinçlendirilmesi gereklidir.

One of the obstacles to organ donation and transplantation in Turkey is that of religious beliefs and, at this point, religious officials constitute a key aspect of this problem. Positive or negative viewpoints held by religious officials regarding organ donation and transplantation are influential in guiding the public. This descriptive study was conducted for the purpose of describing religious officials' viewpoints on this subject. To determine the opinions of 40 religious officials from among the imams and muezzins working in Zeytinburnu District Mufti (Religious Officials Superior) Station who participated in a normal meeting in April and who fully completed the survey. A 27-question survey form was used that consisted of open-ended and closed questions, 5 of which were on socio-demographic characteristics, 13 on viewpoints on organ donation and transplantation, and 9 on the Islamic viewpoint regarding organ donation and transplantation. For the analysis of the results, Student's t test and one-way ANOVA tests were used. It was found that all of the religious officials believed in the importance of organ donation, 80 % considered donating their organs, and 5 % had made an organ donation. Of the religious officials who had not donated organs, 35 % gave an answer that there was no specific reason and 27.5 % stated that they had never considered the subject. While the number of those stating that they would donate the organs of a close associate who had died, 77.5 % of them who did not want to donate gave as their reason the idea that if it were him, he would perhaps not want to give his organs after death. Of the religious officials questioned, 92.5 % asserted that the religion of Islam looked positively on organ donation and transplantation, 55 % stated that the knowledge of religious officials in the country was inadequate regarding this subject, and 65 % said that for interest in organ donation to increase, religious officials should make speeches and raise the issue with the public in conversations, meetings, and sermons. Fully 85 % asserted that for interest in organ donation in Turkey to increase, religious officials have to lead on the subject. Of those questioned, 52.5 % considered their knowledge on organ donation and transplantation to be adequate and that they had obtained 52.5 % of such information from seminars/conferences, 50 % from television/radio, and 45 % from Directorate of Religious Affairs publications. However, 40 % expressed that they did not know where organ donations were made. One reason for inadequate organ donation in Turkey is that of incorrect religious beliefs. Thus, it is necessary that informative efforts are made by the Directorate of Religious Affairs through in-house training programs, and that healthcare, religious, and legal officials work jointly to inform the public about organ donation, organ transplantation, and brain death. Additionally, religious officials should donate organs by the way of example and, to increase their sensitivity, healthcare professionals should g...
