Family consent to deceased organ donation in China: a participatory qualitative study

This study is the first to systematically examine the factors influencing deceased organ donation in the Chinese family context. Obtaining family consent for organ donation appears to be challenging in Chinese families due to limited knowledge and traditional beliefs. Incentive policies that benefit the family are crucial. While media promotion is effective in increasing awareness of organ donation, education and family discussions are critical in alleviating fears and misunderstandings about deceased organ donation.
