Abstract:
Introduction: One of the most important barriers to organ transplantation and the consequent mortality of people on the waiting list for transplants in most countries is family refusal. As a result, recognizing the effective factors in family consent will provide a bridge to increase the rate of supply of organs needed for transplantation. Due to the various factors affecting organ donation, including cultural, religious, scientific, social, moral, religious, and legal dimensions, there is a need for comprehensive and up-to-date studies in this field. Therefore, in this narrative review article, we gathered and summarized the major and influential causes of family refusal among the next of kin of brain death cases It is suggested that some ceremonies and social activities be considered to familiarize the community with brain death and the process of organ donation. Also, it is necessary to organize meetings with religious authorities to present the humanitarian aspects of organ donation.
