Too uncertain to consent, too supportive to refuse: the sociocultural dilemma of hesitant organ donors in Kazakhstan
Both procedural uncertainty and cultural-religious factors influence the hesitation of DLCR individuals to commit to donation, with cultural concerns having a stronger effect. Language preference also shapes attitudes, reflecting broader sociocultural framings. Reducing uncertainty and addressing cultural misconceptions, particularly among the DLCR group, may be key to increasing donor registration.
