“…In the present study, it was observed that after receiving brief information about the importance of volunteer blood donation, willingness rates among individuals were significantly higher in the university population than among those from outside the university (66% and 29%, respectively). Some studies have suggested that a higher educational level is associated with a higher return rate [5], and our study supports these findings. Phone calls, SMS, letters, and e-mails can be used both to remind donors to give blood and to retain regular donors [4,14].…”

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the willingness of university students regarding blood donation and to compare results among residents living in the Kayseri city center. Materials and Methods: Admission for blood donation after donor acquisition campaigns and the rates of repeated donation over a one-year period were compared between the two groups. Results: Between November 2006 and August 2008, a total of 29614 people were included in the study. After educational campaigns, the rate of admission for blood donation was 66% among university students, while it was only 29% among the city residents. Although the deferral rate and adverse events during donation were found to be higher in the student group, they had a higher repeated donation rate and higher return rate after a short message system. Conclusion: University students appear to be good candidates for long-term regular blood donation. Use of a short message system to issue reminders about blood donation may be a reasonable method to replenish the blood supply.

“…It is not enough to just inform candidates about the benefits and necessity of blood donation; they must also be convinced to put aside any misconceptions they may have on the subject [5,6]. Educational and social status and prior misconceptions are important factors in blood donation.…”

“…In studies on blood donors at large, results are contradictory: while certain studies confirm, for example, that education levels and higher incomes are favourable to regular donation (Ownby et al 1999;Piliavin and Callero 1991), others find no difference (Germain et al 2007;Healy 2000). Yet, the integration problems, especially in the case of recent immigrants, may suggest that blood donation is not a priority for people who have other preoccupations in their everyday lives.…”

The Paradoxical Situation of Blood Donation in the Haitian-Quebec Community

Blood donation involves precise regulations aiming to protect donors and recipients. At the beginning of the 1980's, thousands of Canadians were infected with HIV and Hepatitis C. To prevent the contamination of blood products, health authorities asked Haitians, among other groups, to voluntarily refrain from giving blood. Witness testimonies at the Royal Commission of Inquiry on the Blood System in Canada (Krever Commission) show how profoundly affected Haitians were by these events. Today, we know that it is preferable to use phenotyped blood from the same community as the donor in the case of certain diseases. Increasing blood donation from the Black community is believed to be the best way to find donors who will be compatible with patients suffering from sickle-cell disease. Blood supply agencies such as Héma-Québec are seeking to convince Haitians to give blood in greater numbers. However, this task represents a great challenge, since, less than one generation ago, authorities asked that Haitians voluntarily abstain from donating blood. This paradoxical situation inspired the present analysis. Through the conceptual lens of a constructivist approach to ethnicity, this case study draws on a number of sources. By retracing the history of this community and the major events that have affected it over the decades, we are brought to a better understanding of the perceptions and realities of the Haitian community in Montreal with regard to blood donation. Our analyses show that even if Haitian-Quebec leaders are positively disposed towards blood donation, our results also expose that past events of the 1980's have not been forgotten. Even if many are now willing to give blood to meet specific medical needs, for some, this could also contradict the usual universalist and altruistic message of blood donation. This case study highlights the importance of examining what happens at the relational boundary between minority and majority groups: after all, these events also contribute to redefining them. RésuméLe don de sang au Québec est encadré par des règles définies pour protéger les donneurs et ceux qui doivent subir une transfusion sanguine. Au début des années 1980, des milliers de Canadiens seront infectés par le VIH et l'Hépatite C. Pour prévenir la contamination des produits sanguins, les autorités sanitaires ont invité certains groupes, dont les Haïtiens, à s'abstenir volontairement de donner du sang. Les témoignages à la Commission d'enquête sur l'approvisionnement en sang au Canada (Commission Krever) ont montré à quel point les Haïtiens-Québécois en ont été affectés. Aujourd'hui, on sait qu'il est préférable d'utiliser le sang phénotypé qui provient de la même communauté que le donneur dans le cas de certaines maladies. Par exemple, l'augmentation de dons de sang de la communauté noire serait la meilleure façon de trouver des donneurs compatibles avec les patients atteints d'anémie falciforme. Convaincre les Haïtiens de donner du sang en plus grand nombre semble pourtant un véritable défi du fait q...

Este artigo objetiva compreender os fatores motivacionais que influenciam os indivíduos a doarem sangue, com a finalidade de subsidiar as ações de marketing social orientadas à captação de novos doadores. Com base em uma revisão teórica, um modelo de hipóteses foi elaborado, para análise de influências e interações de construtos na formação da predisposição das pessoas a serem doadores de sangue. Foi feito o levantamento de campo por meio de um questionário estruturado, junto a uma amostra de 346 pessoas. Para análise, foram usadas técnicas de análise descritiva, avaliação de consistência psicométrica e modelagem de equações estruturais com estimação por mínimos quadrados parciais. Como resultados, verificou-se principalmente que há uma influência negativa do medo e positiva do grupo de referência na predisposição dos sujeitos em doar sangue. Isso indicou que as ações de marketing social para a doação de sangue são mais eficientes em incentivar novos doadores se mantiverem foco nesses dois fatores.
