Introduction: Organ donation for transplants is a relevant topic that has been increasingly gaining attention in the current healthcare landscape. In general, organ transplantation is a field with many specificities, requiring the involvement of various professionals throughout different stages of the donation process. Nurses play a prominent role in this context, as their involvement is evident throughout the entire sequence of events. Objective: The aim of this study was to identify the main problems during the organ donation process that result in the failure to complete the donation. Methodology: This is an exploratory descriptive study with a qualitative approach, using document analysis. The qualitative analysis was conducted by reviewing reports produced by on-duty nurses, with a time frame from January to July 2023. To retain information, a standardized instrument (Appendix A and Appendix B) was used, containing guiding questions that directed the recording of relevant situations for the study. The research was conducted at the State Transplant Center of Espírito Santo, and a reflective thematic analysis was performed. Results: The study identified several problems, which centered around (1) communication between professionals and services—this being the main issue, especially regarding the speed at which necessary responses were provided to close the stages of the donation process, (2) logistics for organ retrieval and transplantation execution, (3) the various conflicts that can arise between professionals and between them and the families, and (4) the clinical evolution of the donor and the quality of the organs to be donated. These issues were not prohibitive but significantly interfered with the donation process. Final Considerations: To overcome the identified challenges, an action plan is proposed, focusing on improving communication, optimizing logistics, updating protocols and procedures, managing conflicts, ensuring the quality of the organs to be donated, and providing regular training for all teams involved.
