| Abstrakt: | Objectives: In nations where organ donation is governed by the opt-in policy, the most crucial stage in the organ procurement process is the family approach and gaining the approval of families of decedents with brain death. In times of grief and sorrow, the ability of health care workers to communicate and have donation conversations is vital to the decision-making process of families and the subsequent consent rate. In this study, we investigated the effects of teaching important points to coordinators in the family approach and gaining consent of families for organ donation. Materials and Methods: A new training program for Iranian coordinators was designed to increase the skills and knowledge of interviewers and increase the self-confidence of the coordinators. In the training program, 15 golden key points to have when meeting with families of brain dead decedents regarding organ donation consent were presented and discussed with participants. Three coordinating groups participated in this training program. The satisfaction rate of the families was assessed at comparable intervals (12 months for group 1, 6 months for group 2, and 3 months for group 3) before and after the training session to assess the continuity of the training impact. We used the Wilcoxon signed rank test for comparisons. Results: The family consent rate was significantly different for all participants, before and after the 15 golden key points were presented, increasing from 50% to 62.5% (P = .037). In addition, participant sex (P = .051), previous training (P = .090), education (P = .068), and cooperation time (P = .008) had significant effects on family consent rate. Conclusions: Our training approach can increase the performance of coordinators in achieving family satisfaction. |
