“…Provided no remuneration were offered, 28.44% of the respondents would carry on doing it, 29.6% would do it only in an emergency, 29.6% would donate blood merely to their family or friends, and 12.3% would quit it completely. [17] In Greece, data on demographics, donation behaviour, incentives, risk perception and attitude towards donation and transfusion were analysed separately for volunteer and replacement donors and nondonors. The results showed that women and young people donate the least in Greece.…”

“…The absolute majority of the paid donors (92%) think they should be offered a monetary compensation for blood donation, while more than half of the non-remunerated donors (55.9%) claimed they would be content with a mere appreciation of the act. About 28.4% of the respondents would carry on doing it, 29.6% would do it only in emergency, 29.6% would donate blood merely for their family or friend and 12.3% would quit it completely [17].…”

Background: Safe blood is a vital component in improving healthcare globally and millions of lives are saved each year through blood donation. But most hospitals in the developing countries face challenges of constant supply of blood to carry out different life saving procedures that require blood, due to paucity of blood donors. Many studies have been done on the perception of blood donation but only a few have been on Medical and Pharmaceutical Students. Aim: To determine the perception of blood donation among Medical and Pharmaceutical Students of Nnamdi Azikiwe University, Nnewi and Agulu Campuses respectively. Material and Methods: Stratified sampling technique was used to divide the students into strata (200, 300, 400, 500, and 600), then simple random sampling was used to select different respondents from each class and self-administered questionnaires were given to the respondents. Data was collected and results were analyzed. Results: 294 respondents, 147 medical students and 147 pharmaceutical students participated in the study 141 (95.9%) of medical students and 137 (93.2%) of pharmaceutical students had heard of blood donation. 139 (94.6%) of medical students and 140 (95.2%) of pharmaceutical students knew their blood groups. 59.5% of the respondents had donated blood. The commonest motivating factor towards blood donation is "to save a friend or family member". Conclusion: The knowledge of the students regarding blood donation was high but the practice of blood donation was low.

“…Motivation for blood donation has therefore been investigated in many countries (Allam and Masalmeh Bel 2004;Buciuniene et al 2006;Godin et al 2005;Sampath et al 2007). Blood banks in São Paulo, Brazil, have introduced donation policies and marketing campaigns to improve the quantity and safety of the blood supply.…”

Recruiting safe, volunteer blood donors requires understanding motivations for donating and knowledge and attitudes about HIV. We surveyed 1,600 persons presenting for blood donation at a large blood bank in São Paulo, Brazil using a self-administered, structured questionnaire, and classified motivations into three domains as well as categorizing persons by HIV test-seeking behavior. Motivations, in descending order, and their significant associations were: "altruism": female gender, volunteer donor and repeat donor status; "direct appeal": female gender, repeat donor status and age 21-50 years; "self-interest": male gender, age under 20 years, first-time donor status and lower education. HIV test-seekers were more likely to give incorrect answers regarding HIV risk behavior and blood donation and the ability of antibody testing to detect recent HIV infections. Altruism is the main motivator for blood donation in Brazil; other motivators were associated with specific demographic subgroups. HIV test-seeking might be reduced by educational interventions.
