Abstract

Background: Exploring the spiritual cognition of human organ donation registration volunteers, aiming to provide new ideas for promoting the development of organ donation through this perspective.

Methods: This qualitative research was conducted following the conventional content analysis method. 10 registered volunteers for human organ donation were selected from July to December 2023 for face-to-face semi-structured interviews. Snowball sampling was employed to select the participants. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted for data gathering. Theoretical saturation was achieved through 10 interviews. Colaizzi phenomenological 7-step analysis method was used to analyze the interview content.

Results: The spirituality of registered volunteers for human organ donation can be summarized into three themes and seven sub themes: ① Spiritual Understanding (Love & Life Extension, Dedication to society, Death elevates life); ② The Supporting Role of Spirituality (Become a spiritual motivation for a better life, self-transcendence ); ③ The Spiritual Emotional Value of Organ Donation (Sense of accomplishment and pride, Sense of complexity and ambivalence).

Conclusion: The willingness to donate organs is closely related to spirituality. By understanding the spirituality of this group, it is possible to take an important step in promoting the development of organ donation.

对登记人体器官捐献志愿者的精神信仰进行定性研究。

背景：探索人体器官捐献登记志愿者的精神认知，旨在通过这一视角为促进器官捐献事业的发展提供新思路。方法：采用常规含量分析法进行定性研究。在2023年7月至12月期间，我们选择了10名注册的人体器官捐赠志愿者进行面对面的半结构化访谈。采用滚雪球抽样的方法选择研究对象。为了收集数据，我们进行了深入的半结构化访谈。通过10次访谈达到理论饱和。采用Colaizzi现象学7步分析法对访谈内容进行分析。结果：注册人体器官捐献志愿者的精神层面可归纳为3大主题和7个子主题：①精神层面的理解（爱与延长生命、奉献社会、死亡提升生命）；②灵性的支撑作用（成为追求美好生活、自我超越的精神动力）；③器官捐献的精神情感价值（成就感和自豪感、复杂性和矛盾心理）。结论：器官捐献意愿与精神状态密切相关。通过了解这一群体的精神，就有可能在促进器官捐赠的发展中迈出重要的一步。
