“…This suggests insufficient investment in vocational training courses in the area of blood transfusion and/or little interest in them. ( 19 ) A study carried out in 2007 by the Plano Nacional por Amostra de Municípios showed that among the individuals that had previously attended training courses, only 20.2% were in the area of healthcare.

“…The motivation of healthcare managers in the development of educational programs, new teaching methodologies and instruments for periodic assessment would also contribute to advances in hematology. ( 19 , 21 ) In particular, periodic retraining and continuing education are preventive procedures against failures and non-conformity that may accrue over time. ( 4 ) Distance learning, widely used in professional education around the world as a decentralizing methodology that supports other approaches in the development of professionals, may be used as a strategy to train in transfusion safety.…”

BackgroundDespite significant advances, the practice of blood transfusion is still a complex process and subject to risks. Factors that influence the safety of blood transfusion include technical skill and knowledge in hemotherapy mainly obtained by the qualification and training of teams.ObjectiveThis study aimed to investigate the relationship between professional categories working in transfusion services of the public blood bank network in the State of Minas Gerais and their performance in proficiency tests.MethodsThis was an observational cross-sectional study (2007-2008) performed using a specific instrument, based on evidence and the results of immunohematology proficiency tests as mandated by law.ResultsThe error rates in ABO and RhD phenotyping, irregular antibody screening and cross-matching were 12.5%, 9.6%, 43.8% and 20.1%, respectively. When considering the number of tests performed, the error rates were 4.6%, 4.2%, 26.7% and 11.0%, respectively. The error rates varied for different professional categories: biochemists, biologists and biomedical scientists (65.0%), clinical pathology technicians (44.1%) and laboratory assistants, nursing technicians and assistant nurses (74.6%). A statistically significant difference was observed when the accuracy of clinical pathology technicians was compared with those of other professionals with only high school education (p-value < 0.001). This was not seen for professionals with university degrees (p-value = 0.293).ConclusionThese results reinforce the need to invest in training, improvement of educational programs, new teaching methods and tools for periodic evaluations, contributing to increase transfusion safety and improve hemotherapy in Brazil.
