Background: The deceased organ donation program is new in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), and to heighten acceptability, a broad understanding of public perspectives thought to be helpful. Therefore, this study aims to explore the extent by which context plays a role in willingness to register for the deceased organ donation program in UAE, Dubai.
Methods: A qualitative methodology was used and this study was gauged by tenets of socioecological model and lay knowledge. Audio-recorded semi-structured interviews were conducted with 17 participants who were recruited purposefully. Then, data was analysed thematically.
Results: Four themes emerged from the dataset including: fear and body integrity, family, relational ties and the identify of recipient, religious conviction and knowledge and personal experiences. Participants feared the whole process, were not aware of the religious outlook and their knowledge regarding the program was scarce. Also, family related factors were major influencer, there should not be overlooked.
Conclusion: Using the socioecological model and lay knowledge helped to unravel contextual factors that affected their willingness to participate. Therefore, enabled developing a holistic understanding of the phenomenon of interest. Responses were mainly stemming from their contexts, hence, awareness campaigns should elucidate people about the technical aspects and address their contextual concerns.
