“…In this vein, the research performed by the scholars all over the world can be a potential tool to increase blood donation once it can encourage these scholars. The research evidenced the implicit knowledge of college students about blood donation, evaluation of their blood donation knowledge, understanding of their blood donation attitude, and practicing of blood donation behavior [ 9 , 12 , 24 , 25 ] and also can educate, encourage, and motivate them for blood donation. The most important result found here was that shown in Table 4 and Figure 4 , with respect to the main variables of behavioral intention, in which most of the responses were “very agree” and “agree” for the intention of blood donation, reaching percentages around 67 and 30% for “very much agree” and “agree,” respectively, for the question “I think blood donation is a good thing.” The mean values for “very much agree” and “agree” were about 47.87 and 31% considering all the studied parameters of attitude, objective norm, and perceived behavior control, indicating that the intention to donate blood is high in this specific population.…”

“…The development of new strategies to improve the sources of blood for medical use represents a crucial demand, which would be desirable to be stable and uninterrupted. Strategic practices to develop and stabilize new blood sources and to encourage blood donation [ 9 – 11 ] include promoting the correct blood donation education, conveying the benefits of individual blood donation, promoting the concepts of friendship and mutual assistance and social responsibility, expanding fixed blood donation stations and itinerant blood donation vehicles, and conducting education lecture about blood donation at all communities and campus levels.…”

The advances in the technology applied to the health field lead the medical system to be optimized and the medical equipment and drugs to be improved, and the benefits can be seen in the prolonged human lifetime. The increased age and the lifestyle, however, increase the demand of blood for medical procedures and to save lives. The average age of blood donors has gradually increased, the number of new blood donors has grown slowly, and the allocation of blood supply and inventory is complex and many times cannot be improved. The low increase in blood donor number is a concern that needs to be overcome. Here, the theory of planned behavior was used as a tool to analyze the motivation, intention, and behavior of blood donors. The theory of planned behavior was applied in the form of questionnaires to college students. The results indicated that participation on the research motivates and educates the participants to donate blood, encourages the behavior of relatives, and leads the participants to realize the altruistic and mutually beneficial outlook on blood donation. The results also indicated the awareness of the students with respect to the importance of blood donation and that it can be an important tool in order to educate and increase the young blood donor number.

“…The third group (3 items), on motivators and barriers to blood donation, was based on a review of the literature [9,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. Motivating factors was covered by a single question for all donors, while there were two questions on barriers according to whether the participant was a non-donor or first-time donor.…”

“…There are numerous studies in the literature on the various motivators and barriers to blood donation [9,[15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28]. Initial research focused on suitable siting for blood collection centers, pro-social motivation, personal values, the reputation of the blood donation center, the perceived need to donate, reciprocity and intrinsic motivation.…”

Background: Targeting young people to donate blood is a particularly promising option. The aim of this work was to know the motivators, barriers and preferred communication channels for blood donation among university students, and to determine the factors that explain why donors give blood. Materials and methods: A questionnaire was distributed to 420 students (response rate: 88.3 %) attending the University of Huelva (Spain). Data were gathered on sociodemographic variables, blood donation history, motivators and barriers to donation, and communication channels. Non-parametric contrasts were used to determine possible differences in the sociodemographic characteristics or donation history, and logistic regression to determine the factors associated to donation. Results: 67.38 % of the students surveyed were non-donors, 12.94 % were first-time donors, 11.05 % were infrequent donors and 8.63 % were frequent donors. "Solidarity" was the main motivator for donating blood (40 %). "Lack of information on where and how to give blood" was the main barrier for non-donors (26.4 %), with "medical reasons" cited by first-time donors (22.2 %). 93.8 % of donors wished to be notified about their next donation appointment. The majority of those surveyed preferred e-mail to receive alerts and information on donation campaigns. The factors that explained blood donation were over 26 years of age and place of residence. Conclusion:The study identified differences in the motivators, barriers and choice of communication channel among the university students in terms of blood donation, and the factors that explain blood donation. This knowledge is a useful source of information when designing blood donation campaigns that target young people.

Latar Belakang: Kebutuhan produk darah semakin meningkat seiring dengan peningkatan layanan transfusi darah. Ketersediaan produk darah sangat bergantung dari donor darah sukarela. Palang Merah Indonesia (PMI) Sleman merupakan salah satu Unit Donor Darah di Provinsi D.I. Yogyakarta yang belum mencapai kecukupan akan produk darah. Salah satu penyebabnya adalah baru 1% dari jumlah penduduk di Sleman yang menjadi pendonor darah sukarela. Rekrutmen donor yang tepat dengan mempertimbangkan faktor pengetahuan, sikap, dan perilaku merupakan strategi yang penting untuk memotivasi masyarakat melakukan donor darah secara sukarela. Tujuan: Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menentukan faktor-faktor yang berhubungan dengan motivasi donor darah di PMI Kabupaten Sleman. Metode: Jenis penelitian ini adalah deskriptif analitik dengan desain studi cross-sectional yang dilaksanakan di PMI Sleman pada Januari-Desember 2021. Sampel penelitian adalah pendonor darah sukarela baru atau berulang yang lolos seleksi untuk donor darah di PMI Sleman dan menyetujui surat permohonan menjadi responden sebanyak 100 responden dan ditentukan menggunakan teknik accidental sampling. Analisis data penelitian dilakukan secara univariat dan bivariate. Hasil: Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa terdapat signifikansi pada variabel perilaku pada nilai p-value=0,009<0,05. Kesimpulan: Terdapat hubungan perilaku dengan motivasi donor darah di PMI Sleman Yogyakarta.
