Description:

Key words: donation of organs, transplantation, public attitude Relevance of the work: Organ donation is gratuitous and voluntary transfer of human organs from a donor to someone else who needs a transplant. The newest technological developments in the health care sector have increased the numbers of organ transplantations. On the other hand, the number of people awaiting transplantation is increasing, together with the growing difficulty in donation, as there are still too few organs for this practice to be properly applied. Research studies conducted in different countries have identified the main factors that influence person’s attitude towards organ donation, including lack of information, specific opinion on the topic among other family members, religious beliefs, apprehension of not being treated responsibly in the case of emergency, the fear of organ “black market” influence, distrust in the health care system and prevailing myths. Aim: to reveal decisive factors determining public attitudes to organ donation. Objectives to achieve the aim: to define different types of organ donation, legal regulation of organ donation in Lithuania, factors that influence approach to organ donation; to reveal public awareness of organ donation; to identify factors that determine people’s decision to become donors. Methods: the quantitative research method was selected, which involved respondents over the age of eighteen. 227 respondents over 18 years of age took part in the conducted study. Results: The results showed that the majority of the participants in the research had first learned about organ donation from television, during events for promotion of donation, had read on the Internet. More than four-fifths of the respondents did not receive any information from nurses or doctors, and two-fifths of the interviewed said that the public should be informed by health care workers, one-third expected that the media should inform the general public. The majority of the respondents had never talked about the donation issue with their family members before, more than three-fifths of the interviewed had no idea where to sign a donor card. The main factor, why they refuse to become donors, is lack of information about the donor card and the donation itself, part of the participants are not determined to donate, or fear that in case of emergency their life will not be saved, the least percent of responses included family disapproval, distrust of doctors, distrust of the health care system and organ allocation system. The main factor why respondents' had signed the donor card, was their conscious decision, as well as the idea that they will be able to save the other life after own death; their decision was not influenced by religious beliefs, the encouragement of their close relatives, healthcare professionals, or successful stories of other people. Conclusion: the absolute majority of the participants claim that the public is not sufficiently informed about organ donation, and almost half of the respondents believe that the idea of donation could be promoted by greater awareness of the general public.
