Summary

Objective:
The aim of our study was to investigate (a) the basic socio-demographic characteristics of Czech oocytes donors, (b) their attitudes towards anonymous or nonanonymous donation and (c) their motivations to donate oocytes.

Design:
Original article.

Setting:
Clinic of Reproductive Medicine and Gynecology Zlin.

Methods:
A total of 215 oocytes donors participated in this study, which was undertaken in years 2015–2016. The data were obtained by an anonymous questionnaire. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyzed the data.

Conclusion:
The results show that (a) mean age of oocytes donors was 26 years. Single women (60%) with secondary level education (57%) prevailed. More than half of them (55%) had at least one child on their own. About 39% of donors were fully employed, 29% women on maternity leave and 16% students. (b) For the majority of participants the anonymity is very important. Almost 55% of oocyte donors prefer to stay in anonymity and 20% were not sure. In case that anonymity would be abolished, only 20% of the Czech oocyte donors would be willing to donate. There were no differences based on education (p = 0,358), age (p = 0,112), marital (p = 0,741) and maternal status (p = 0,691). (c) The main motivation to donation was altruism (helping infertile people), no less important factors were the finantial motivation and the testing own fertility. The altruistic motivation to donate was significantly related to the wish to remain anonymous (p = 0,0002).

Conclusion:
The typical Czech oocyte donor is young, mainly altruistic woman with her own child who wants to stay in anonymous relation to the couple whom she is helping as well as to the possible genetic offspring.
