Attitudes and Awareness Towards Organ Donation Among Parents of Pediatric Brain Death Patients in a Pediatric Intensive Care Unit in Eastern Turkey.

CONCLUSIONS The most important reasons relevant to parents' organ donation refusal are the parents' low level of education and insufficient information about brain death and organ donation. The unwillingness to allow impairment of their child's internal organ integrity and thinking that their child would be in pain at the time of organ donation were the most common reasons.
