Factors that influence the attitude of East European residents in Spain towards living kidney donation.
Transplant International 2009 July
UNLABELLED: Emigration from East European (EE) countries into the South East of Spain (SES) is becoming more common. The objective of this study was to analyse the attitude towards living kidney donation in this group. A sample of residents (n = 320) in the SES who come from EE was obtained randomly and stratified by a respondent's nationality (November-05 to April-06). Attitude was evaluated using a validated questionnaire that was completed anonymously and was self-administered.
CONTROL GROUP: native Spanish citizens. The questionnaire completion rate was 83% (n = 265). A total of 83% (n = 220) were in favor of related living donation. Attitude is similar to that of the urban control group (P = 0.0534) and more positive than that prevalent in the rural setting (P < 0.001). The variables that were related to attitude included: a respondent's marital status (P < 0.001); the country of origin (P = 0.014); attitude towards deceased donation (P < 0.001); having discussed the subject within the family (P < 0.001); a respondent's belief that he might need a transplant organ (P = 0.002) and concern about possible 'mutilation' after donation (P < 0.001). There is a favorable attitude towards related living kidney donation among EE who are resident in the SES and this attitude is closely related to attitude towards deceased donation, the attitude of one's family and feelings of reciprocity.
