Abstract
Inngangur: Líffæraígræðsla er oft eina úrræðið fyrir sjúklinga sem eru með líffærabilun á lokastigi. Hér á landi er gengið út frá ætlaðri neitun, en fyrir ríkisstjórninni liggur lagabreyting um að gert verði ráð fyrir ætluðu samþykki. Tilgangur þessarar rannsóknar var að kanna viðhorf íslensku þjóðarinnar til ætlaðs samþykkis við líffæragjafir. Auk þess var skoðað hversu stór hluti Íslendinga var skráður líffæragjafi, hversu mikill áhugi var á því að gerast slíkur og hversu stór hluti vildi gefa líffæri eftir andlát. Efniviður og aðferðir: Um er að ræða þversniðsrannsókn með spurningalista. Þýðið var Íslendingar 18 ára og eldri af öllu landinu og var notast við póstlista frá Capacent Gallup. Í úrtakinu lentu 1400 manns og var svarhlutfall 63% (880 svör). Niðurstöður: Meirihluti Íslendinga var hlynntur því að gert verði ráð fyrir ætluðu samþykki (rúmlega 80%). Konur voru líklegri til að vera hlynntar þessu en karlar, 85% á móti 76%. Karlar voru helmingi líklegri til að vera hlutlausir eða andvígir. Þeir sem voru yngri voru líklegri til að vera hlynntir frumvarpinu en ekki reyndist vera marktækur munur á viðhorfi eftir tekjum, búsetu eða menntun. Helmingi fleiri þeirra sem áttu einhvern náinn sér sem þegið hafði líffæri voru að öllu leyti hlynntir lagasetningu. Skráðir líffæragjafar voru 5% þátttakenda, 29 konur og 15 karlar. Ályktun: Íslendingar eru hlynntir löggjöf sem gerir ráð fyrir ætluðu samþykki en nokkur munur er á viðhorfi eftir kyni, aldri og hvort svarendur þekkja einhvern sem hefur þegið líffæri. Meirihluti vill gefa líffæri en þó er aðeins mjög lítill hluti skráður sem líffæragjafi.----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Introduction: Organ transplant is often the only viable treatment for patients with end-stage organ failure. Until now, Icelandic legislation has required informed consent for organ donors, but a new parliamentary bill has been put forth to change the laws to presumed consent. The goal of this study was to investigate the attitude of the Icelandic population towards legislative changes to presumed consent. Materials and methods: Descriptive cross-sectional study using a questionnaire. The study population included all Icelanders, 18 years and older. The sample involved 1400 persons randomly selected from a Capacent Gallup mailing-list. The response rate was 63% or 880 answers. Results: The majority of Icelanders are in favour of the proposed legislative change (more than 80%). Women were more likely to support presumed consent than men, 85% versus 76% respectively. Younger participants were more likely to be positive towards the new law, but no significant difference was found in attitude by family income, demographics or education. Persons who knew someone close to them that had received a transplanted organ were 50% more likely to be in complete agreement with the proposed legislation. Only 5% of participants were currently registered organ donors – 29 women and 15 men. Conclusion: Icelanders are very positive towards changing the law to include presumed consent in organ donation. Women and younger people tended to be more in favour and similarly those who know someone that has received donated organs. A majority of responders are willing to donate their organs, but very few are registered as donors.
