“…Despite mixed feelings, a majority of Chinese and Koreans possessed overall positive attitudes toward organ donation. When surveyed, 76.9% of Chinese health professionals, 80–88.9% of Chinese public (80% in Changsha city, 82.2% in Hunan city, 88.9% in East China), 85.2% of Hong Kong medical students, and 75% of Korean patients’ relatives, 85% of Korean nursing students, and 91.2% of Korean health‐care professionals, agreed that organ donation is a noble act with positive outcomes and supported organ donation .…”

“…Among the Chinese Canadians interviewed, most thought that organ donation was a personal decision, and it would be difficult to make this decision on behalf of the family member [24]. Lower expressed willingness to donate relatives' body when compared to donating one's own had been demonstrated in several studies among both Chinese and Koreans (China 38.85% vs. 16.07%, 33.4% vs. 28.2%, Hong Kong 50% vs. 42%, Korean 60.9% vs. 38.1%) [26,30,35,39]. The main reason for refusal to donate family's body was uncertainty of the wishes of the deceased person [35].…”

“…Cultural, traditional, religious beliefs. Both Chinese and Korean cultures emphasized the importance of maintaining the body intact [18,19,[21][22][23][24] and keeping the body complete appeared to be the most common reason provided for not consenting to organ donation for both Chinese and Koreans [15,25,28,30,33,35,36,38]. In addition to the concept of filial piety from Confucian ideology, another idea cited to explain the reason for maintaining an intact body after death was the importance for the afterlife and rebirth.…”

Asian Americans have the lowest organ donation registration rates in the United States, and the reason for this is incompletely understood. Aiming to understand the reasons for low organ donation registration rate among Asian Americans, more specifically Chinese and Korean Americans, we conducted a systematic search of databases, websites, and gray literature. Altogether, 34 papers were retained after the assessment of relevance and quality. Commonly reported barriers to organ donation registration among Chinese and Koreans in the literature included lack of knowledge about organ donation, distrust of health-care and allocation system, cultural avoidance of discussion of death-related topics, and desire for intact body mainly stemming from the Confucian concept of filial piety. Strong family values coupled with a cultural reluctance to discuss death-related topics among family members appear to underscore the reluctance to organ donation among Chinese and Koreans. Notably, improved knowledge negatively impacted organ donation intent and religion seemed to play a more important role when making decision about organ donation among Koreans, and the distrust of the allocation system is more prominent among Chinese. This information should be used to inform the development of culturally competent organ donation educational materials.

“…Knowledge about ESKD and previous discussions about DD were associated with positive donation wishes in our study. Lack of knowledge and process were often reported as barriers to donation in other studies in the literature and emphasize the need for public education campaigns and promotion of having family discussions about donation. There has been an increase in education campaigns in Ho Chi Minh city over the last decade and our donation agreement rate of 77%, which is much higher than previous (66% Ho Chi Minh households may partly reflect that).…”

“…Only 20 cited religion as a reason against donation. It is important to emphasize, however, that religious leaders should be encouraged to participate in public discussions on organ donation and its benefits as it may have a significant impact: 41.3% of Korean participants in a questionnaire on organ donation (12% Buddhist) stated they would accept organ donation if encouraged by their religion . A systematic review of the literature on donation attitudes identified that respondents from the same religion often held different beliefs and interpretation of their faith …”

Organ donation is vital to saving lives, but its success depends on people's willingness to donate organs. This descriptive cross-sectional survey aimed to investigate attitudes towards organ donation in Damascus, Syria. Understanding attitudes is crucial for the success of organ donation programs, especially in countries with similar settings. This study was a descriptive cross-sectional survey aimed at understanding patients’ attitudes towards organ donation in Damascus, Syria. Data was collected through a carefully constructed validated survey through face-to-face interviews. 600 participants were randomly interviewed, 62.8% agreed to donate their organs after death, with helping others being the primary reason. Religious beliefs were the primary reason for organ refusal in males, while for females, it was lack of knowledge and religious beliefs. However, there were no significant differences between genders or educational level and age groups in the acceptance of organ donation. The percentage of those who agree to donate their organs after death encourages taking an effective step to build an integrated donation system, not just a center. Bearing in mind that there is no correlation with age, gender or even educational level, which means that the system may include different groups of society.
