A Content Analysis of Living Organ Donation Materials from Certified Transplant Centers.

Abstract:

:Despite the fact that living organ donation has the great potential to reduce the shortage of transplantable organs, it is still surrounded by many misconceptions, ethical concerns, and myths. Research conducted to understand factors contributing to public misconceptions related to living organ donation is rare. This research takes a content analytic approach to uncover how living organ donation is portrayed in materials developed and delivered by transplant centers across 11 regions. A total of 332 unique materials were analyzed. The results revealed that living kidney donation dominated the corpus of data whereas other living organ donations were largely overlooked. Benefits and risks associated with living organ donation were relatively evenly presented; however, social support necessary to donors and recipients and available resources to obtain social support were not sufficiently addressed. Embedded in these materials were 46 personal narrative stories. Analysis of these stories showed a focus on undirected living organ donation and revealed a wide range of emotional experiences. Significant regional differences were found in several themes, such as benefits and risks, and social support. Inconsistent information regarding living organ donation was present. Practical implications are discussed.
