Considering that the donation of organs and tissues for transplants is often the only therapeutic option in several clinical cases and that the number of donations is universally insufficient, it is necessary to understand the causes that lead individuals to view this process in a negative way. The objective To analyze the subjective perceptions of individuals who participated in the organ donation process, both professionals and family members, in order to identify the factors that lead to the choice of donating or not. An integrative review with a quantitative and qualitative approach was carried out, which sought publications from the last five years in Bireme and the Scielo, Medline and PubMed databases. The evaluation of quantitative data indicated the general characteristics of the included studies and the subjects who participated in the respective included studies, while the qualitative analysis led to the organization of four groups (relatives - potential living donors, relatives of deceased individuals, health professionals and nurses exclusively ) and their respective perceptions of the organ donation process. The expansion of individuals' perceptions through access to information and knowledge about organ donation can benefit the dynamics of this process. The research highlighted the need for humanization in family care during the donation process, opening spaces for conversations and reflections on the topic, and improving access to information and promoting continuing education for health professionals.
