| Core Tip |
This study explored the views of 370 healthcare workers in Brunei Darussalam on establishing a deceased donor kidney transplant (DDKT) program. Most were female (76%) and included doctors, nurses and allied health staff. Overall, 61% showed high knowledge. Support for DDKT (44%) exceeded opposition (12%), though 45% were undecided. An opt-in donor card system was favored by 54%, while attitudes toward transplant commercialization were mixed, with 21% accepting it. Disapproval of DDKT and donor cards was associated with Islamic religion, Malay ethnicity, nursing profession, lower knowledge, female sex, and unawareness of fatwa. Multivariable analysis confirmed profession, religion, education and knowledge as independent predictors of disapproval. |
