Objective: to identify in the scientific literature factors related to family attitudes in the organ donation and transplantation process. Methods: an integrative review carried out in July 2020, in five information resources, through combinations between the descriptors "organ transplant", "tissue donors" and "tissue and organ procurement", in their Portuguese and English versions. Results: fourteen articles made up the final sample, in which it was found that the factors that hinder the transplantation process are mainly related to physical pain and feeling of fear, concern with the mutilation of the body, and also religious and cultural aspects, fear of corruption, ignorance about the process and distrust of the medical diagnosis of brain death. However, they stood out as factors that positively influence the process, education and awareness of the population, professional training, good dialogue and respect for families and well-structured institutions. Conclusion: the decision regarding organ donation is influenced by different factors that positively or negatively influence the entire process, which directly impacts the number of donors and the waiting list for transplants.
