Abstract:
AIMS:The aims of this study were to quantify donors among the investigated area, quantify arguments and myths about the donation and transplantation process, and fix predetermined donation variables in a logistical model. MATERIALS AND METHODS:We used an analytical, prospective design, using 848 students from 13 high schools in the Velez Sarsfield Hospital area in an open-closed inquiry. RESULTS:Females were 57.74% and average age was 16.64 +/- 0.06 years, including 65.09% Catholics. The 642 potential donors represented 75% of the study population with the fundamental aim being to "give life" (44.85%). The 193 (22.75%) opposed subjects cited as a principal reason fear and distrust (40.41%). There were 40.21% who had discussed the donation subject with their families. In our study 76.41% believed that human organ traffic exists and 36.88% thought that it is due to corruption. Also, 56.01% fear premature extraction of their organs. In addition, 73.23% of teenagers considered that individuals who refused to donate have the right to receive organs (P = not significant between donors and not a donor). The family discussion and the lack of fear about premature extraction were donation signals. About the low level of donation 43.27% blamed the government (lack of campaigns, information, and knowledge) whereas other reasons were fear, lack of clarity and distrust. In our study 49.17% seemed to wish to increase donation if they received more information. CONCLUSIONS:Individuals predispose to donation represented the great majority of the queried teenagers; education and family discussion were remarkable factors favoring the decision.
