Abstract
Aim: Since there is no consensus about how to perform the predonation psychosocial evaluation of living kidney donor candidates, this is conducted differently in German transplant centers. Thus, the goal of the study was to learn more about how psychosocial evaluations are currently conducted in German transplant centers. Methods: The psychosocial evaluators of the 38 transplant centers performing kidney transplantations in 2015 were contacted and asked to participate in an anonymous online survey. Results: Psychosocial evaluators from 28 (75%) transplant centers responded. In only 30 (4%) of the evaluations contraindications for donation were reported. In most centers the psychosocial evaluation was performed after the completion of all medical tests. The evaluations were realized after only short waiting periods and were reported to be time-consuming. Financial reimbursement was mainly realized by internal cost allocation. In most centers the evaluators used semi-structured interviews. Still, there was limited consensus about structure and content of the psychosocial evaluation. Conclusion: Standardization of the psychosocial evaluation process could be helpful to enable comparisons between transplant centers and to achieve equal opportunities for the potential living kidney donors and recipients.
