Future research should focus on identifying key factors influencing donation willingness, developing standardised assessment tools, and strengthening qualitative research to gain a deeper understanding of the decision-making processes of potential donors. On this basis, targeted assessment and intervention strategies should be formulated to effectively increase organ donation rates and optimise the development of the system.<\/jats:p>\n
