The main category derived was \u201cDifficult dilemma\u201d which included two primary categories: \u201cOrgan donation motivators\u201d and \u201cOrgan donation demotivators\u201d The primary category \u201cOrgan donation motivators\u201d comprised subcategories such as \u201cDiscussing donation considerably,\u201d \u201cPatient's wishes awareness,\u201d \u201cEmotional\/psychological support,\u201d \u201cConsidering donation reasonable,\u201d and \u201cConsidering donation valuable.\u201d The primary category \u201cOrgan donation demotivators\u201d consisted of subcategories such as \u201cDiscussing donation inconsiderately,\u201d \u201cDistrust in providers,\u201d and \u201cConsidering donation unfavorably.\u201d The findings indicate that the decision to donate organs is not solely an individual choice, but rather the outcome of an interplay between psychological and social factors. In this context, both motivating and demotivating influences interact and exert mutual effects.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Based on the results of this study, it is suggested that healthcare professionals improve and professionalize their communication with families to encourage them to make informed decisions to donate organs of patients with brain death. Additionally, the role of the media in raising public awareness should be emphasized, religious leaders should take a more active role, and further studies should be conducted in this field.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1002\/hsr2.73033","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,13]],"date-time":"2026-08-13T05:54:52Z","timestamp":1786600492000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Organ Donation Motivators and Demotivators Among Families of Brain\u2010Dead Patients in Southeast Iran: A Qualitative Study"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Mehdi","family":"Ahamdinejad","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Neuroscience Research Center, Institute of Neuropharmacology Kerman University of Medical Sciences Kerman Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Faezeh","family":"Ghasemi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Student Research Committee, Razi Faculty of Nursing and Midwifery Kerman University of Medical Sciences Kerman Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3381-2529","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Farideh","family":"Razban","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Nursing Research Center Kerman University of Medical Sciences Kerman Iran"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,12]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_12_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/ctr.14889"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007\/978-3-030-36548-6"},{"key":"e_1_2_12_4_1","volume-title":"Textbook of Critical Care E\u2010Book","author":"Vincent J.
