“…About one‐third of the participants in this study were afraid of needle pricks. This is consistent with the studies in Ghana [19], Qatar [29], Malaysia [35] and Pakistan [21] but contrary to the study in Los Angeles [24] where less than 15% were afraid of needle pricks. Fear of donated blood being used for rituals was also endorsed by about one‐third of participants in this study and this is in keeping with the Ghana study [19].…”

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.

This finding is similar to previous studies in Nigeria [3,15], Ghana [19], Bulgaria [20] and Pakistan [21]. In contrast, in a study by Kasraiana et [17,22].…”

Penelitian Agravat (2014) menemukan terdapat hubungan signifikan antara donor darah dan jenis kelamin Jumlah pendonor darah laki-laki lebih banyak dibandingkan pendonor darah perempuan (12).…”

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.
