Abstract

Organ and body donation are key elements in health sciences. This study examines the perception of the population toward organ and body donation and how it may be influenced by personality traits. A cross-sectional study was designed, in which a questionnaire including items of demographic data and attitudes toward organ and body donation were distributed among the general population. A validated questionnaire for the screening of personality disorders was applied as well. 202 questionnaires were obtained, 76 (37.6%) from men and 126 (62.4%) from women. A total of 95.2% of women and 93.4% of men responded to be in favor of organ donation (p>0.05). However, only 40.3 % of women and 37.8% of men were in favor of body donation. Sixty-eight percent of participants had a probable personality disorder. Of those against body donation, 67% had a probable personality disorder. Body donation is not a well-known option among the Mexican population. However, for a program to be feasible, it is necessary to raise public awareness regarding donation and its implications to achieve greater engagement.

墨西哥的捐赠意愿与个性的影响

器官和遗体捐赠是健康科学的关键要素。本研究考察了人们对器官和身体捐赠的看法，以及它如何受到人格特质的影响。设计了一项横断面研究，在普通人群中分发了一份调查问卷，其中包括人口统计数据和对器官和遗体捐赠的态度。同时采用了一份有效的人格障碍筛查问卷。共获得问卷202份，其中男性76份(37.6%)，女性126份(62.4%)。95.2%的女性和93.4%的男性表示赞成器官捐献(p>0.05)。然而，只有40.3%的女性和37.8%的男性赞成捐献遗体。68%的参与者可能有人格障碍。在反对遗体捐献的人中，67%的人可能有人格障碍。在墨西哥民众中，遗体捐赠并不是一个广为人知的选择。然而，要使一个项目可行，必须提高公众对捐赠及其影响的认识，以实现更大的参与。

期刊介绍： El European Journal of Anatomy es continuación de la revista “Anales de Anatomía”, publicada en español desde 1952 a 1993. Tras unos años de interrupción debido fundamentalmente a problemas económicos para su mantenimiento, la Sociedad Anatómica Española quiso dar un nuevo impulso a dicha publicación, por lo que fue sustituido su título por el actual, además de ser publicada íntegramente en inglés para procurar así una mayor difusión fuera de nuestras fronteras. Este nuevo periodo se inició en 1996 completándose el primer volumen durante el año 1997.
