“…(19) However, the rarity of TRALI as found in this study is most likely due to the scarcity of female donors in Nigeria as is usually the case in many other tropical developing countries. (20) The frequency of donor haemolysin mediated IMATR among our patients was about three times that of TRALI. Haemolysins are immune IgG antibodies that are produced by group-O individuals in response to immunization resulting from previous incompatible transfusions, pregnancies or vaccines that are contaminated with A or B-like antigens.…”

“…However, they are grossly under‐represented among blood donors in Nigeria [7]. The proportion of females in the donor population range from 0.3% to 0.64% in the Northwest [4, 8] to 1.0% in the Northcentral [9], 7.8% in the Southwest [10] and 10.8% in Southeast Nigeria [11]. In some developed countries like the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Denmark and Finland, where the blood supply is optimal, the contribution of women to the donation pool is either at par or even slightly more than that of men [12].…”

Background and Objectives Women are grossly under‐represented among blood donors in Nigeria. We, therefore, determined the barriers, motivators and appealing incentives to blood donation among women in Nigeria. Materials and Methods This was an internet‐based cross‐sectional study among women aged 18–65 years. A well‐structured questionnaire was used to determine sociodemographic characteristics, motivation, barriers and appealing incentives. Motivational and barrier differences in some sociodemographic characteristics were determined using the chi‐squared test. A p‐value of 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results The most common motivators among blood donors were ‘when family or friend is in need of blood’, ‘health benefits’ and ‘reminders to donate’. One‐time donors who were willing to become regular donors were more motivated by reminders to donate than those not willing (p = 0.000). The most common barriers among non‐donors were ‘poor attitude of hospital staff’ and ‘fear of contracting infections’. Younger women and those of the Hausa tribe were more debarred by ‘lack of privacy during blood donation exercise’ than older women and those of the other tribes (p‐values of 0.008 and 0.006, respectively). The most appealing incentives for blood donation were medical consultation and a blood donation certificate. Conclusion Women's participation in blood donation in Nigeria can be improved by sending regular reminders to donors, especially one‐time donors and by infrastructural adjustments to improve privacy at the blood donation sites. Specific and targeted capacity‐building initiatives should also be put in place to drive a paradigm shift in the attitude of hospital staff to work in Nigeria.

Background: Blood and blood products are essential resources in the management of many health conditions. It has been tasking to achieve complete reliance on voluntary unpaid blood donors. Hence, assessing the knowledge, practices and barriers of voluntary blood donation can impact on improvement of the number of voluntary blood donors. Aim: To assess the knowledge, practice, and barriers of voluntary blood donation among the participants. Method: A cross sectional descriptive study was carried out using pre-tested interviewer administered questionnaire administered to 288 participants selected by systematic random sampling technique. The data was analysed using SPSS version 20. Results: The mean age of the respondents was 38.81 ± 11.67. Males were slightly more (51.70%) than females (n=149, 51.70%). Most were married (n=204, 70.80%), of the Tiv tribe (n=160, 55.60%) and were Christians (n=263, 91.30). Over half had tertiary education (n=113, 55.20%), were civil servants (n=159, 55.20%) and worked in non-health related disciplines (n=168, 58.30%) respectively. Over two-third reside in rural areas (n=206, 71.50%). 0nly 30.56% had good knowledge scores. Those who had ever voluntarily donated blood made up 11.1%. Females were less likely to donate blood (aOR=0.19, CI 0.08 – 0.48, p=0.00). Those with tertiary education were nearly six times more likely to have donated blood (aOR=5.92, CI 1.66 – 21.10, p=0.01). Those with non-health related jobs (aOR=0.00, CI 0.06 – 0.46, p=0.00) were less likely to donate blood. The most common reason for deferral was viral infections (37.50%) such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C and HIV infection. The commonest barriers of voluntary blood donation fear of blood being sold for rituals (22.6%), fear (22.9) fear of needle prick (16.7%).
