Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Sociology
  • Bioethics

Background:

  • Disproportionately low organ donation rates identified in Irwin, Ben Hill, and Coffee counties, Georgia.
  • These three rural counties have a combined population of approximately 70,000.
  • Fewer than 50 organ donation cases reported in these counties over the past decade.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore rural Georgians' perspectives on organ donation.
  • To identify cultural and religious beliefs influencing organ donation decisions.
  • To understand the rationale behind hesitancy towards organ donation in these communities.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative study employing 21 one-on-one interviews.
  • Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and manually coded.
  • Thematic analysis was used to identify trends and insights.

Main Results:

  • Four major themes emerged: limited knowledge and promotion needs, religious ambiguity, general positivity despite misconceptions, and low awareness of organ donation.
  • Participants expressed skepticism and misconceptions regarding the organ donation process.
  • Cultural and religious beliefs significantly shape attitudes toward organ donation.

Conclusions:

  • Addressing limited knowledge and promoting organ donation are crucial.
  • Clarifying religious perspectives and dispelling misconceptions can improve donation rates.
  • Increased awareness and culturally sensitive education are needed to overcome hesitancy in rural Georgia.
