제목: Does Grey’s Anatomy’s Portrayal of Organ Donation do More Harm than Good? A Systematic Content Analysis of Grey’s Anatomy Season 1 through 15

내용: 

Despite nearly universal support for organ, eye, and tissue transplantation, more than one third of adults in the United States are not registered donors according to Donate Life America (2022). Given the shortage of registered donors, research continues to identify registration barriers including, but not limited to, medical mistrust along with an unclear understanding of the organ transplantation process. The miseducation on this life-saving procedure is unfortunate as approximately 106,000 Americans find themselves on the national waiting list; sadly 20 of these patients will die daily and a new name is added every 9 minutes (United Network for Organ Sharing, 2022). Societal miseducation continues to be informed by medical TV dramas, a commonly cited source for transplant information. The current talk will highlight important takeaways from a systematic content analysis of the first 15 seasons of Grey’s Anatomy. Grey’s Anatomy was selected because its storylines address a variety of health issues, including frequent exposure to organ donation. Moreover, Grey’s Anatomy has proved its staying power as ABC’s top-rated show while in its 15th season. The results are discussed with an emphasis on coverage trends across the 15 seasons as well as important implications for practitioners and researchers.
