Organ donation and the transplant process allow improving the health status and quality of life of patients with some pathologies. Donor screening is one of the most important points of the entire protocol, it is a procedure that requires not only the good disposition of the general population, but also well-organized health personnel with knowledge of the process.
Aim. Determine the factors that hinder the organ donation process in medical personnel.
Methodology. A systematic review was conducted to discover the factors that have contributed to the low rates of organ donation, from the perspective of medical personnel. 28 articles from journals indexed in Crossref, PubMed, Elsevier, Medline and Scielo were selected, in addition to the official pages. The search was performed using keywords (donation, transplant, brain death and medical personnel) in spanish and english.
Results. 28 indexed articles and official pages were reviewed where the ignorance of medical personnel to identify possible donors and related legislation, the lack of personnel, infrastructure and medical organization, as well as attitude are determining factors in the low donation of Organs
Conclusions. it is necessary to implement strategies for a better knowledge of the organ donation process for medical personnel, in addition to organizational training and constant feedback. otherwise the results will continue as non-positive.
