Description
Summary:This study aims to determine ethical conflicts experienced by nursing during the organ donation process. This qualitative study used the content analysis approach developed by Bardin. The researchers interviewed eleven nurses who had cared for potential donors of organs for transplantation. Four questions were used to guide the interview. After analysis, five categories emerged: difficulty in accepting brain death; non-acceptance of the multidisciplinary team for withdrawing mechanical ventilation of the non-donor patient after brain death; difficulty of the multidisciplinary team during the organ donation process; and situations that can interfere with the organ donation process and decision making in ethical conflicts.
