“…Nevertheless, the lack of adequate research infrastructure in our region could contribute to this gap, as evidenced by a noticeable discrepancy in research engagement even among our clinical-stage students. In contrast to a study conducted in Nagpur, India, where only a minority (11%) of participants attended workshops on scientific research, our study revealed a higher proportion (38%) of participants attending such workshops [17].…”

“…In our study, a notable percentage (61.5%) of participants expressed a positive inclination that research should be part of the curriculum. These findings align with a study conducted in Nagpur, India, where a similar percentage (61.5%) endorsed this statement, but contrast with findings of another study conducted in Kolar, India, where a higher percentage (67.03%) showed agreement with this statement [11,17]. In contrast, 27% of our study respondents found research as an additional burden.…”

“…In contrast, 27% of our study respondents found research as an additional burden. Our findings are comparable to a study conducted in Kolar, India, where 28.45% of students supported this statement; however, they differ from another study conducted in Nagpur, India, which reported a higher percentage (37.8%) of stu-dents in agreement [11,17]. Patient outcomes improve with continuous medical research as stated by the vast majority (79.9%) of our study participants; our findings are congruent with studies conducted in Saudi Arabia and easternmost India [6,18].…”

Background. Medical research and innovation are essential for the growth of medical education and healthcare system. Medical students should be taught in a research-informed environment, which allows them to make better clinical decisions and enhances their scientific output. Aim. The purpose of this study was to evaluate medical students’ knowledge, attitude, practice, and perceived barriers towards undergraduate medical research in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. Methods. This cross-sectional study, which was carried out between October 2022 and April 2023, included medical students from seven medical colleges in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. The survey comprised 19 questions, categorized into five sections, and delivered to students using the Google form platform. Results. A total of 363 medical students from seven medical colleges in the Kurdistan Region of Iraq were enrolled in this study. The sex ratio was about equal. The mean age was 20.6 (± 1.7 SD) years. Study participants demonstrated a low level of knowledge of research fundamentals, with an average correct response rate of 37.7%, as only 8.8% of participants answered all questions correctly. Three-fifths (61.5%) of participants believed research should be integrated into the curriculum, while about one-third (27%) of our study participants viewed research as an additional burden. Nearly one-third (34%) of students had participated in a research project before. Conclusions. In our study, we found that students in clinical stages aged 21 or older and those with prior research experience showed significantly higher knowledge levels. Research participation was associated with a more favorable attitude. The vast majority of our students expressed a keen interest in participating in research projects. Students identified lack of time and deficient research skills as the most prominent barriers hindering their active participation in research.

“…This difference could have originated because those studies were done specifically in medical students as compared to non-medical students in present study. 15,16 Good attitude towards blood donation was observed by high number of participant mentioning that VBD is a noble work (95%; 191/201), can save someone's life (99%; 199/201). Our results are in line with a study done in Dehradun, India.…”

Background: Blood is scarce; its demand far outweighs the supply. In addition to limited supply, the issue of safety especially with regard to the risk of transfusion transmissible infection is also an issue of utmost concern especially in the developing countries. Blood transfusion services in India have gained special significance in recent years and forms a vital part of national health care system. Voluntary Non-Remunerated Blood Donation (VNRBD) is the safest of all types of blood donations. One of the potential sources that can be tapped for blood donation is the young and physically fit students from educational institutions across India.Methods: A cross-sectional study was carried out among students from Mumbai University, India during May–June 2017. Two hundred and fifty students were approached to participate in the study of which 201 agreed to participate (males: 104; females: 97). Pretested questionnaire was distributed and collected data was analyzed using IBM SPSS version 23. Results: High number of participants agreed about encouraging general public about voluntary blood donation (96%; 193/201), lack of awareness about VBD in general public (82%; 164/201). But not a single participant was able to respond to the knowledge part of the questionnaire with 100% accuracy. Almost all the participants had correct knowledge about blood groups (98%; 196/201) and blood matching need (195/201; 97%).Conclusions: Participants showed good attitude but demonstrated poor knowledge about voluntary blood donation. Details about blood donation should be incorporated in the undergraduate curriculum and periodic awareness programs should be organized for students.

“…The results of the study suggest that the practice of donating blood can be improved by improving the knowledge of college students. 13 Jasim N. al-Asadi (2017) conducted a qualitative crosssection study to assess the knowledge and attitudes of students at Basrah University regarding blood donation. The study was conducted between January and April 2017 and used a Non-Probability Purposive sampling methodology.…”

The present study was aimed to assess the effectiveness of structured teaching programon knowledge regarding blood donation among adults at selected urban area of Rewa (M.P). Blood donation must be increased in half countries of world so that reliable supply of safe blood shall be available to dependent patients. Globally the collection of blood donations are around 108 million and most of them or nearly 50% of them are from prosperous countries. It is found that high income countries have nine times higher blood donation collection with respect to low-income countries. The reason for taking this study was to spread the knowledge regarding blood donation and also creating awareness. On the basis of selected objective, the nature of the study and to accomplish the objectives of the study quantitative research approach was found to be appropriate and pre-experimental one group pre-test post-test design was used in this study. Sample consists of 60 adults from the selected urban area of Rewa, non-probability purposive sampling technique was used for the selection of subjects. In this study independent variable is the Structured Teaching programme on knowledge regarding blood donation and dependent variables is knowledge regarding blood donation. The instrument used for the study was sociodemographic variables and self-structured questionnaire. The knowledge of adults regarding blood donation was assessed before and after administration of the Structured Teaching Program and the data were analysed by using descriptive and inferential statistics. The calculated chi-square value obtained for age and pretest score 10.015 which is lower than the tabulated value at, p value <0.05, which is statistically non-significant. The calculated chi-square value obtained for educational status and pre-test was 13.015 which is higher than the tabulated value at, p value >0.05, which is statistically significant. The calculated chi-square value obtained for marital status is 19.0749 which is higher than the tabulated value at, p value >0.05, which is statistically highly significant. The calculated chi-square value obtained for dietary pattern and pretest is 5.0225 which is lower than the tabulated value at, p value <0.05, which is statistically non-significant. The calculated chi-square value obtained for employment status is 16.0288 which is higher than the tabulated value at, p value > 0.05, which is statistically highly significant. The calculated chi-square value obtained for source of information 11.0857 which is lower than the tabulated value at, p value < 0.05, which is statistically non-significant. The conclusion was drawn from the finding of the study was the adults did not have adequate knowledge regarding blood donation. The required information regarding blood donation will definitely lead to promote awareness and build healthy society.
