(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2020-12-27) Lozano Ibañez, Ana Katherine; Fernández Rengifo, Werther Fernando
Organ donation is an individual and social act of solidarity that people can perform in order to improve the health and life of another person. The National Transplant Organization of Spain reported that there were 139,024 transplants performed worldwide in the last year, which represents a 2.3% increase compared to the previous year, with Spain being the leader, with 48.3 donors per million people (p.m.p), leading with 114.7 transplanted organs p.m.p, followed by the United States with 114.4 p.m.p. On the other hand, Latin America increased by 3.6% in that year and had a donor rate of 9.2 p.m.p. The figures vary significantly in terms of organ donation; Uruguay leads the list with 23.78 donors per million people, followed by Argentina, which has 20 donors per million inhabitants. In our country, the donation rate is very low, at 2 p.m.p., with Chile and Ecuador above us with 10 and 7.7 p.m.p., respectively. It is also worth noting that the percentage of families rejecting donation has decreased from 76% to 56%. It is also noted that only 13% of Peruvians have registered in their identity documents that they wish to be donors. Materials and Methods Research Focus and Design: The approach will be quantitative, applied when the researcher is interested in collecting numerical data that can be analyzed using mathematical methods. The design will be descriptive-cross-sectional, where participants are measured once to provide a description of the variable. Population, Sample, and Sampling: It consists of the nursing staff working in the Emergency Department of the Ventanilla Hospital, which includes 30 professionals.
