Abstract:
This study explores the essential personal challenges associated with organ procurement from the perspective of perioperative nurses experienced with this process. Nurses participated in interviews that reflected and provided detailed experiential information about their participation in the procurement process. Challenges associated with participation included personalizing the event and identifying with the donor family members' grief. Reported feelings about participation in organ procurement included anger, sadness, and helplessness.
