International e-Journal of Science, Medicine and Education 2015;9(3):20-26
Background: Most countries around the world
have experienced a shortage in organs needed for
transplantation. Organ donation performance is widely
attributed to two important factors: the legislation and
the role of the family. Thus, this literature review aims
to examine the willingness of people for organ donation
while highlighting the importance of having a presumed
consent system.
Methodology: In this study, we explored many papers
of which 10 articles were studied to gain conclusive
understanding of the two factors and their interactions.
Results: Our analysis of literature regarding the
legislation and family response showed that the
presumed consent system for organ donation accounted
for 21 – 30% higher organ donation rates than the
informed consent system. We also found a gap between
the willingness of people to donate their own and their
relatives’ organs. The ratio of people willing to donate
their organs after death was estimated to be 10 – 12%
higher than the ratio of those willing to donate their
relatives’ organs. Furthermore, the study revealed the
importance of a presumed consent system in raising the
willingness of the people and their relatives for donation,
but that did not eliminate the gap.
Conclusion: Countries seeking to overcome organ
shortage and increase organ donation rates by moving
towards the presumed consent system should consider
the importance of providing families with proper
information about this system. The fact that a gap
between the willingness of the people to donate their
own as well as their deceased relatives’ organs exists,
has to be conveyed to the governments, which will be
helpful in optimising organ donation rates.

Background: Some argue that Malaysia’s extremely low
organ donation rate is attributed to religion, specifically
Islam. Testing this argument, this study asked Malaysian
Muslims their views regarding various issues on organ
donation and examined whether their decisions to
donate organs are framed by religious beliefs.
Materials and Methods: This study investigated the
perspectives of Malaysian Muslims between October
and December 2013 in Kuala Lumpur. Self-administered
questionnaires were distributed to 900 people, with 829
responses collected (92% response rate). Respondents’
verbal consent was taken before proceeding with the
survey.
Results: The survey found that more than half of
respondents felt that organ donation is permitted in
Islam and that it is a communal responsibility. However,
the same proportions were unsure on the issues of rewards
for organs or on whether Islam permits the procuring of
organs from brain dead patients.
Conclusions: Malaysian Muslims are not against organ
donation; however, encouraging organ donation requires
the state to address public concerns on Islam’s views on
this sensitive issue through effective policy tools to help
address these gaps in Malaysian Muslims’ understanding
of organ donation. The organ donation rate could
improve by using Islamic scholars as ambassadors for an
organ donation drive to convey the message of Malaysia’s
urgent need for organ donation.

Journal of Korean Academy of Adult Nursing 2003;15(2):256-266
PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to identify the process of experience toward decision making to donate organs. METHOD: Eleven subjects who registered at the Association for Organ Sharing in Korea were recruited. Using in-depth interviews and tape-recordings, data was collected from Jun. 2001 to Feb. 2002 and the contents of these were analyzed by Glaser's grounded theory analysis method. RESULT: Basic Social- Psychological Problem(BSPP) of subjects were 'attachment to body' and the core theme, that is Basic Socialization Progress(BSP) were discovered to 'find out what is the meaning of life'. Also it consisted of four steps: 1st 'hesitate', 2nd 'look into self', 3rd 'realize the tie up to self' and last 're-find the meaning of life'. CONCLUSION: These findings indicate the Korean's Basic Socialization Progress of decision making regarding organ donation, so possible development of promoting decision making is necessary strategies for people who is having his/her potential of organ donation in mind.

In the Philippines, organ donation is regulated under the Organ Donation Act (RA7170) and promoted by the Department of Health through the Philippine Network for Organ Sharing (PHILNOS). The number of organ donors to meet the increasing demand in the country continues to lag. The emergency department (ED) was identified in several foreign studies to be a significant source of successful organ donation. This action research project investigated the attitude and perception of 125 ED healthcare workers (HCWs) from three hospitals in Metro Manila before and after an awareness event. The study reveals that ED nurses and doctors are generally supportive and hold positive perceptions and attitudes toward organ donation. Despite the positive attitude, HCWs seem to be uncomfortable or unwilling to perform tasks important to organ donation such as approaching relatives and management of the deceased organ donor. Future training on organ donation will increase the positive attitude, confidence and likelihood to participate in organ donation and transplant activities.

Background:
Organ donation (OD) is the major component for transplant programs. The need for the transplants is high and the gap between organs available for transplantation and the number of patients waiting for a transplant is widening globally. Nurses can play a vital role in promoting organ donation process that may influence the decision-making of donors and their families
Objective:
This study sought to determine the knowledge and attitudes of nurses in Southern Philippines Medical Center on organ donation.
Methodology:
A descriptive survey design was used in this study. Sample size computation was done in Epi Info version 7.1.4.0. A modified Organ Donor Attitude Questionnaire based on the previous study by Bishop was utilized.
Results:
The mean score for question pertaining to knowledge of the 268 participants was 6.34 ± 1.99 out of total of 10 points. A total of 138/268 (51.49%) participants have scores above the average score accumulated by the participants of the study. The overall mean attitude of respondents towards organ donation was 3.25 which is interpreted as undecided.
Conclusion
Nurses do not have adequate knowledge and attitude towards their role in OD process. There is a need to increase the nurses’ level of knowledge by exposing them to nursing courses to improve knowledge and attitudes.

9.A Study on Freeze
The Journal of the Korean Orthopaedic Association 1988;23(3):929-935
I had an opportunity to visit U.S. Naval Tissue Bank and observed tissue procurement and preservation by freeze-drying method and its clinical application while I stayed in the Naval Hospital, Bethesda in 1954. The freeze-dried tissues, especially bone graft, has shown excellent bone repair experimentally and clinically. Recently the mechanisms of osteoinduction have observed by many researchers and isolated the substance, bone morphogenetic protein, and clarified the interaction between BMP and the determined or inducible osteoprogenitor cells.
