Clinical Trial Summary
The Hospital of Saint Denis (HSD) has been involved for several years in the dynamics of
organ donation. In spite of the evolution of the practices of coordination of the collection
of samples, the rate of refusal of organ donation is increasing in our hospital, contrary to
the rest of France.
Based on hypotheses derived from psychological and anthropological perspectives, this survey
will provide first-hand information on the personal, family and cultural issues related to
organ donation. It will be a question of identifying and locating individual and collective
representations concerning death, its definition, and the associated symbols and rites. Based
on the collection of these representations, we will be able to propose hypotheses of a
psychological, social and anthropological nature on resistance to organ donation.
Description:
The Hospital of Saint Denis (HSD) has been involved for several years in the dynamics of
organ donation. In spite of the evolution of the practices of coordination of the collection
of samples, the rate of refusal of organ donation is increasing in our hospital, contrary to
the rest of France.
Based on hypotheses derived from psychological and anthropological perspectives, this survey
will provide first-hand information on the personal, family and cultural issues related to
organ donation. It will be a question of identifying and locating individual and collective
representations concerning death, its definition, and the associated symbols and rites. Based
on the collection of these representations, we will be able to propose hypotheses of a
psychological, social and anthropological nature on resistance to organ donation.
Methodology :
Mixed quantitative and qualitative study
1. Questionnaire: The collection will be carried out prospectively on the hospital site for
a period of 12 months. At the rate of one day per week. We estimate that we will be able
to include 100 subjects during this period. Only those who have completed all the
questionnaires will be included in the study. The collection will focus on the
characteristics of the respondent (sex, age etc...) and will consist of 4 fields of
questioning with open and closed questions (Biological and symbolic functioning
associated with the organs that may be harvested, representation of death, fate of the
corpse, and philosophical and religious positions regarding death and the corpse.
Questions also on representations of the relationship between the hospital institution
and the dead body: autopsy, brain death, organ removal, etc.)
2. Participant observation: by social science researcher. Targeted participation at key
moments of the process leading to organ harvesting (medical staff in resuscitation,
announcement interview, collection of non-opposition) allowing to carry out an
ethnography. Duration: 3 months
3. Semi-structured interviews: at the end of the observation, concerning the various
hospital actors in the organ donation process, both at the resuscitation level and the
coordination of organ retrieval and the various professions (doctors, nurses, nursing
auxiliaries). Number of interviews: 20
