Notes
One of the most important problems regarding organ transplantation, which is a form of treatment that improves or saves the lives of many people today, is the insufficient number of organ donations. Since organ donation is an altruistic and pro-social behavior, increasing the number of donations is important not only for patients but also for strengthening social solidarity. Most of the studies on the decision to donate organs show that religion affects attitudes and behaviors towards organ donation, but very few of them are based on qualitative research. The aim of this study is to evaluate how religion shapes the organ donation decision-making process, based on the data of a qualitative study completed in 2021, and to sociologically interpret the complexity of the process without reducing it to a cause and effect relationship. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews from 18 participants selected through maximum diversity and snowball sampling techniques. In this study, it was concluded that religion shapes the organ donation process in a multidimensional and multifaceted way, and that this effect should not be considered within the framework of direct and negative causality.
