Abstract

Background: Owing to the advancement in organ transplantation, treating an individual with organ failure in today's world has become possible. However, organ transplantation is lagging in the absence of adequate organ donations. Shortage of organs for transplantation is a challenge to developing countries like Nepal and developed countries like the USA and UK. Despite various efforts to increase the rate of organ donation, the problem persists. The primary reason for the failure to accomplish adequacy in organ do-nation is the immediate dependency on an available donor. On top of that, reluctance to decide on organ donation after death, regarded as an onerous moment, at least by the general public, has another impact on the subject. Some countries have shifted while some are planning to change from an informed consent system to a presumed consent system, in which if an individual does not make any decision during life-time, it is presumed that his/her organ can be removed for organ transplantation after death.

Objective: To perceive the perception of healthcare professionals of the tertiary care centre of eastern Nepal regarding the presumed consent system.

Methods: Purposive sampling of 221 health care professionals (Faculties, Nursing In-charges, Lab-technicians, and Radiology technicians) participated in the study.

Results: Most healthcare professionals (90.5%) support using a presumed consent system in Nepal and agree on considering the family's opinion in the decision-making for cadaveric organ donation.

Conclusion: Most healthcare professionals have shown their perception in favors of presumed consent to support the increasing organ donation rate.

医疗专业人员在制定适当器官移植监管制度中对推定同意的看法。
背景:由于器官移植技术的进步,治疗个体器官衰竭在当今世界已经成为可能。然而,由于缺乏足够的器官捐赠,器官移植的发展滞后。移植器官短缺是尼泊尔等发展中国家和英美等发达国家面临的一个挑战。尽管为提高器官捐献率做出了各种努力,但问题依然存在。不能在器官捐献国家中实现充分性的主要原因是对现有供体的直接依赖。最重要的是,在死后不愿决定器官捐赠,至少在公众看来,这是一个繁重的时刻,这对这个问题产生了另一个影响。有些国家已经从知情同意制度转变为推定同意制度,有些国家正在计划将其转变为推定同意制度,即如果个人在一生中没有做出任何决定,则推定其器官可以在死亡后被摘除用于器官移植。目的:了解尼泊尔东部三级保健中心的医疗保健专业人员对假定同意制度的看法。方法:目的抽样221名卫生专业人员(院系、护理员、实验室技术人员、放射技术人员)参与研究。结果:大多数医护人员(90.5%)支持在尼泊尔采用假定同意制度,并同意在决定遗体器官捐献时考虑家属的意见。结论:大多数医疗保健专业人员已经表明,他们的看法赞成推定同意,以支持不断增加的器官捐献率。
