Abstract:   (5981 Views)
Organ donation is giving an organ to someone else who needs a transplant. The purpose of this study was to compare personality traits, spiritual intelligence and death anxiety in people with organ donation card and those without it. The research plan is causal-comparative. Using Snowball Sampling method, 148 donors selected as the standard group and 150were selected as peer group according to the criteria of the study using a convenience sampling method. Data were gathered using NEO Personality Inventory, spiritual intelligence, and Templar death anxiety questionnaire. Data were analyzed by independent t-test and multivariate analysis of variance and logistic regression. Results showed that there is a significant difference between the two groups in personality traits, spiritual intelligence and death anxiety. Among the components of personality traits, persons with a donation card received higher score in the component of the agreeableness. They also received higher scores in spiritual intelligence. In contrast, the persons without the donation card received higher scores in the death anxiety. According to the research findings and considering psychological factors, we cannot only encourage people to register for a donation card, but also we can decrease the number of people who would like to annul or cancel their organ donation card.
