The interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed utilizing the phenomenology approach based on the seven-step Colaizzis method..Results
The participants of this study explained their situation as an overwhelming situation in families due to patients brain death. Also, the data analysis led to the development of four main themes as follow: overwhelming situation, perplexity factors, the sling loops of defect in consent for organ donation, and compatibility..Conclusions
