Logistic regression model on the willingness to sign on organ and tissue donor cord

The aim of the present study has been to know the variables associated with willingness to sign an organ and tissue donor card. To this end, a telepho ne survey has been carried out by interviewing a representative sample of t he Andalusian population on several relevant questions related to donation and transplant of organs (N=1.111). A logistic regression analysis was appl ied to the willingness to sign a donor card as dependent variable and the o ther variables as predictors. A multivariate model has been elaborated, inc luding variables such as religious beliefs, concerns about body integrity a fter death, attitude towards autopsy, degree of confidence in medical staff , concerns on premature declaration of death in order to harvest organs, va riables related to the level of information about organ donation and transp lantation, available resources to sign a donor card and others reasons for not having done so before.
