The objective of this study is to assess the attitude of hospital personnel in transplant-related services toward living kidney donation in a hospital with a cadaveric and living solid organ transplant program. <i>Materials and Methods:<\/i> A random sample was taken and stratified by type of service and job category (n = 330) in transplant-related services (procurement units, transplant units and follow-up units). The attitude toward cadaveric organ donation was evaluated using a validated psychosocial questionnaire. Student\u2019s t test, \u03c7<sup>2<\/sup> test, and logistic regression analysis were applied for statistical analysis. <i>Results:<\/i> The questionnaire completion rate was 94% (n = 309). Most respondents (87%, n = 268) are in favor of related living kidney donation. However, only 17% (n = 53) of respondents are in favor if this donation is unrelated. Of the rest, 4% (n = 12) of respondents would not accept a donated living kidney organ and the remaining 9% (n = 29) are undecided. Only two variables are significantly related to attitude towards living kidney donation: age (p = 0.013) and a willingness to receive a donated living organ on the part of the respondent, if a transplant organ were needed (p < 0.001). Both variables persist as significant independent variables in the logistic regression analysis. There is also a close relationship between attitude toward living kidney donation and attitude toward living liver donation (p < 0.001). <i>Conclusions:<\/i> The personnel in donation and transplantation units tend to have a favorable attitude towards living kidney donation making them a key element in the current promotion of living kidney donation. Moreover, the youngest workers in these units are those who tend to be more in favor, thus offering a promising future for this type of kidney donation which is becoming more of a necessity given the cadaveric organ deficit.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1159\/000112955","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2008,1,9]],"date-time":"2008-01-09T10:19:35Z","timestamp":1199873975000},"page":"c75-c82","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Attitude of Personnel in Hospital Cadaveric Organ Transplant-Related Units Faced with Living Kidney Donation in a Hospital with a Living Kidney Donor Transplantation Program"],"prefix":"10.1159","volume":"108","author":[{"given":"A.","family":"R\u00edos","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"P.","family":"Ram\u00edrez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"L.","family":"Mart\u00ednez","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J.A.","family":"Garc\u00eda","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M.J.","family":"Montoya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"D.","family":"Lucas","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"P.","family":"Parrilla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"127","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,1,10]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1007%2Fs00464-002-9118-x"},{"key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093%2Fndt%2Fgfh861"},{"key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097%2F01.TP.0000133307.00604.86"},{"key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093%2Fndt%2Fgfh466"},{"key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2Fj.transproceed.2005.09.173"},{"key":"ref6","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2Fj.transproceed.2005.09.174"},{"key":"ref7","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097%2F01.TP.0000085289.19858.90"},{"key":"ref8","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097%2F01.TP.0000087852.74220.9A"},{"key":"ref9","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1157%2F13084873"},{"key":"ref10","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2Fj.healun.2006.04.004"},{"key":"ref11","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1399-0012.2006.00562.x"},{"key":"ref12","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097%2F01.TP.0000164150.53036.A1"},{"key":"ref13","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1097%2F01.mnh.0000247493.70129.91"},{"key":"ref14","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1093%2Fndt%2Fgfl024"},{"key":"ref15","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016%2Fj.transproceed.2005.08.059"},{"key":"ref16","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1399-0012.2006.00541.x"},{"key":"ref17","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111%2Fj.1432-2277.2005.00081.x"}],"container-title":["Nephron Clinical Practice"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/112955","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/www.karger.com\/Article\/Pdf\/112955","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2025,4,24]],"date-time":"2025-04-24T02:34:11Z","timestamp":1745462051000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/karger.com\/article\/doi\/10.1159\/000112955"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2008,1,10]]},"references-count":17,"journal-issue":{"issue":"1","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2008,2,1]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1159\/000112955","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1660-2110"],"issn-type":[{"type":"electronic","value":"1660-2110"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2008,1,10]]}}}
