“…Because this shortage does not hinge on the absence of suitable organs, the disequilibrium between ODT has been blamed, globally, on HCPs (Douville et al., ). It is, however, maintained in this review that rather than blame HCPs for this disequilibrium, it is a combination of HCPs’ attitudes and experiences as well as time constraints, conflict of interests, the altruistic nature of ODT and organ donation rules, which account for this global disequilibrium (Douville et al., ). Some HCPs are inadequately educated and trained about the ODT process and, hence, lack awareness about organ donor inclusion/exclusion criteria, donation procedures and the criteria for brain and cardiac deaths (Jelenek Marck, Weiland, Neate & Hickey, 2012).…”
