A social ecological model mapping of factors shaping health personnel's attitudes toward organ donation: a scoping review.
Article in BMC health services research, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundAlthough organ donation is a life-saving procedure, it faces significant challenges owing to the shortage of available organs. Health personnel play a vital role in promoting organ donation. However, their attitudes toward organ donation vary greatly. Understanding the factors that influence these attitudes is essential for developing effective strategies to enhance organ donation.
methodsIn accordance with the Arksey and O'Malley framework, a comprehensive scoping review was conducted across multiple databases, including PubMed, MEDLINE, Web of Science, Embase, CINAHL, the Cochrane Library, PsycINFO, CNKI, VIP and Wanfang. A systematic search was conducted from 1 January 2015 to 6 July 2025.
results22 cross-sectional studies of health personnel examining determinants of organ donation attitudes were retained for further analysis. According to the social ecological model, the factors influencing attitudes of health personnel toward organ donation can be divided into five categories: Individual level: demographic characteristics, knowledge, attitude, behavior, and experience; Interpersonal level: family and social relationships, professional activities; Organizational level: professional characteristics, training and education, work experience; Community level: cultural and religious factors, social participation; Public policy level: law and systems, medical policy.
conclusionsHealth personnel's attitudes toward organ donation are shaped by a complex interplay of factors. Addressing these factors through targeted education, cultural sensitivity training, and policy reforms can increase the support for organ donation.
