There Is Great Ignorance About the Brain Death Concept Among the Population in Santiago de Cuba (Cuba). Ríos, A., Sánchez, A., López-Navas, A., Martínez, L., Ayala, M., Carillo, J., Ruiz-Manzanera, J., Hernández, A., Ramírez, P., & Parrilla, P. Transplantation Proceedings, 51(2):290–292, 2019. doi abstract bibtex Introduction: The knowledge of the brain death (BD) concept is important when determining the attitude toward organ donation. Objective: To analyze the level of knowledge of the BD concept among the population in Santiago de Cuba and determine the factors that condition it. Methods: From the Collaborative International Donor Project, we obtained a sample of Cubans living in the area of Santiago de Cuba (n = 455). The attitude was assessed using a validated questionnaire (PCID-DTO-RIOS). The survey was self-administered and completed anonymously. Student t test, χ 2 , Fisher, and logistic regression analysis were used. Results: Forty percent (n = 180) of the respondents know the BD concept and consider it as the death of an individual. Of the rest, 43% (n = 199) do not know about it, and the remaining 17% (n = 76) consider that it does not mean the death of a patient. The variables significantly related to the correct knowledge of BD in the multivariate analysis and considered as independent are: level of studies; the opinion of the couple toward organ donation; the religion of the respondent; having offspring; and a favorable attitude toward organ donation. Conclusion: There is ignorance about the brain death concept among the population of Santiago de Cuba. This lack of knowledge has a direct relationship with various psychosocial factors. © 2018 Elsevier Inc.
