Abstract: | IntroductionLiving kidney donation is currently the most important kidney donor source in Latin America, and it is necessary to further increase its rates.ObjectiveTo analyze the attitude toward living kidney donation among the Santiago de Cuba's population and to determine the sociopersonal factors with which it is associated.MethodThe population over 15 years old residing in Santiago de Cuba, stratified by sex and age, was screened. The “PCID—LKD Ríos” attitude questionnaire toward living kidney donation was administered to a random selection of the people surveyed according to the stratification and the census data. The completion was anonymized and self-administered. Verbal consent was obtained.ResultsThe study was completed by 445 people, of whom the 86% (n = 389) were in favor of living related kidney donation. This attitude is associated with the level of education (P < .001); previous experience with organ donation (P = .006); attitude toward cadaveric organ donation (P < .001); carrying out of prosocial activities (P = .010); discussion of the issue with the family (P < .001) and the significant other (P < .001); concern about mutilation after donation (P = .001); religious beliefs (P = .001); and assessment of the risk of living kidney donation (P < .001). In the multivariate study, the following variables persisted: (1) level of education; (2) attitude of cadaveric donation; (3) carrying out of prosocial activities; and (4) risk assessment of living donation.ConclusionsLiving related donation is very well accepted among the Santiago de Cuba's population. |
