“…The signal review panel, Core training panel, and Quality review panel constitute part of the organogram provide information to the technical associate in the institution such as medical colleges, hospitals, nursing homes, etc. Unnecessary transfusions should be avoided [12,13]. There has been a concern and debate in the medical literature regarding the use of blood and blood products.…”

Objective: Transfusion of blood and blood products is a life-saving intervention but has the potential to cause adverse events. Haemovigilance is an organized system that includes monitoring, identification, reporting, investigating, and analyzing adverse events related to transfusion and the manufacture of blood products. However, reporting of adverse reactions is markedly less in our country. This study is intended to assess knowledge, attitude, and practice of Haemovigilance among post-graduates (PGs) and to scrutinize various causes of Underreporting. Methods: A cross-sectional pre-validated questionnaire-based study was carried out in Osmania medical college and hospital, Hyderabad over 4 months among 150 PGs. Results: Only120 PGs out of 150, provided their responses. Only 20% of the PGs knew about the Haemovigilance program. 41.6% knew how to report and who can report. 2% knew about Hemo-vigil and Donor vigil software. 100% of PGs show a positive attitude towards transfusion reaction reporting and agreed that Haemovigilance activities should include in the undergraduate curriculum. Medicolegal liability issues, lack of knowledge, and lack of time were the main factors that forbade them from reporting. Conclusion: A positive attitude towards Haemovigilance exists among PGs but knowledge regarding the Haemovigilance program was poor and the practice of transfusion reactions reporting was significantly reduced. Hence, our study suggests the inclusion of the procedure of transfusion reactions reporting in the Undergraduate curriculum and augmentation of CMEs/workshops/seminars to PGs.

“…4 During the hemovigilance process, nurses can report the complications caused by the use of the blood products. 5 Therefore, nursing information and documentation on the hemovigilance reduces the possibility of recurrence of these complications in patients. 6,7 Knowledge of nurses on hemovigilance consequently results in better management of this process and the cycle of blood transfusion in patients, and increase in their knowledge level leads to the promotion of patients' health and their concentration on these patients when caring for them.…”

“…8 On the one hand, nurses can immediately recognize and diagnose the complications caused by blood transfusions in patients by increasing their knowledge in this area; on the other hand, nurses can help in further planning for and prevention of serious incidents in patients by recording the information. 5,9 Nurses having knowledge on hemovigilance subsequently increased their understanding of different types of the blood products, the ways to transfuse and maintain blood products, the way to transfer the products, different blood types and tests required for the blood transfusion process, the required facilities and equipment, and the reactions to blood and the blood products. 10 The nurse's knowledge in this field makes it possible to monitor the transfusion process and the management of the blood carefully and to record all the incidents and then use them for further evaluations while monitoring patients closely and continuously.…”

Objective Given the importance of having knowledge on the hemovigilance process in nursing care, the present study was conducted to investigate the effect of the hemovigilance education on nursing students’ knowledge using a conceptual map. The current research was a semi-experimental study. Methods The samples consisted of 60 nursing students who were selected based on the inclusion criteria using the census sampling method. Thereafter, these participants were randomly assigned into the two groups: experimental and control groups. The required data were collected before, immediately after, and 1 month after the education using the hemovigilance knowledge questionnaire. Accordingly, the validity of this questionnaire was confirmed, and its reliability using the Cronbach's alpha coefficient was reported as 0.83. The education process was conducted during a 4-week period. Thereafter, the collected data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics by SPSS v25. Results The results reveal that a significant difference existed between the knowledge scores of students in the experimental group compared with that of the control group during different times (including before, immediately after, and 1 month after the education) (P < 0.0001). Of note, hemovigilance education had a significant effect on the students’ knowledge (P < 0.0001). Conclusions Due to the effect of the hemovigilance education on the students’ knowledge and by applying the conceptual map in the easy transfer of the educational concepts, it is recommended that the results of the present study be used to strengthen the theoretical and clinical education of nursing students.

Objective: This study was conducted to assess the knowledge, attitude and application of hemovigilance by postgraduates and interns in a tertiary care hospital. Methods: A pre-validated questionnaire is used in this cross-sectional investigation. Postgraduates’ and interns’ Knowledge, Attitude and Practice (KAP) about hemovigilance, potential reasons for under-reporting, and strategies for enhancing transfusion reaction reporting were all intended to be evaluated in this study. The study was carried out over a period of 2 mo and included all the clinical PGs and interns who willingly gave consent. Results: The questionnaire was completed by 243 individuals in total. A mean of 94% of postgraduate students and 92% of interns were familiar with transfusion reactions. Merely 68% of the respondents possessed knowledge of India's Hemovigilance initiative. A total of 90% of participants concurred that it is essential to report adverse transfusion reactions. The idea of hemovigilance should be taught in UG curricula, according to 92% of participants overall. The majority of participants exhibited a favourable attitude towards the idea of hemovigilance. All the participants were willing to report unfavourable transfusion reactions. Conclusion: Although most participants have a good attitude towards reporting transfusion reactions, there is a lack of information about the hemovigilance program and the reporting process. For this reason, our research recommends that reporting procedures be included in undergraduate curricula and that seminars like training programs be held for postgraduates and practitioners.
