Objectives: The primary aim was to assess the knowledge, attitude and practices (KAP) of employees (medical, paramedical and other hospital staff) towards blood donation and transfusion practices in a tertiary care hospital. A secondary objective was to assess and interpret the effect of an educational module on improvement in the KAP of employees in a hospital setting. Background: For satisfactory practices, it is essential to initiate KAP studies. Methods/materials: This was a prospective, observational study conducted among hospital staff (clinical and non-clinical) from January to December 2019. The study was divided into two phases: pre-educational module (P1) and post-educational module (P2). In both phases, a questionnaire was distributed. Knowledge was assessed by 30 questions, attitude by 20 questions and practice by 30 questions. If any individual had unsatisfactory scores in both the P1 and P2 phases (scores <40; 50%), they had to participate in a mandatory certificate course. Results: A total of 180 individuals participated in the P1 and 172 participated in the P2 phase. Mean score for practice (0.471) was better than that for attitude (0.447) and knowledge (0.43). Factors associated with good scores were younger age group, more than 5 years of employment and clinical field of study. The total score for KAP increased, and a statistically significant difference (P-value < .05) was observed between P1 and P2 scores. Of 172 participants, 27 were asked to attend the 2-week certificate course due to unsatisfactory scores (score < 40) in both P1 and P2 phases. These 27 participants required attending this certificate course a mean of 1.67 ± 0.83 times to obtain satisfactory scores. Conclusion: Educational intervention is an important tool for improving KAP among not only physicians but hospital staff as well.

“…Literature is available worldwide about the KAP studies over various subjects; however, none of the studies discuss vein-to-vein as was the case in the present study (97.22%), which showed good attitude towards blood donation. [11][12][13] The rate of practice of blood donation was found to be 61.63%.…”

Background and Objectives A critical appraisal of the literature helps to assess the strength and weakness of the research and suggests ways to improve future research. Our aim was to critically appraise the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) studies conducted in India for blood donation. Materials and Methods Of 70 articles identified in our search on PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar, 32 were assessed for quality using an appraisal tool for cross‐sectional studies (AXIS) and questionnaire items. Results Quality assessment revealed that only 6 of 32 studies had acceptable reporting (≥80% score on the AXIS tool). The most frequently identified shortcomings were failure to address the non‐responders, lack of justification for sample size, assessment of outcome variables and demographic results for the survey. Our evaluation of questionnaires revealed that knowledge for need for blood donation, its benefits and site/place for blood donation were assessed by very few studies. With this, issues such as parental/family consent, religious beliefs, and indifference to blood donation process were amongst the common reasons for non‐donation. Many studies also failed to ask questions related to procedural information/instructions, which are necessary for promoting voluntary blood donations. Conclusion Most published KAP studies for blood donation in India were not appropriately described, especially the methodology and result section. These deficiencies could have led to suboptimal interpretation of the prevalent issues. Use of an open‐ended and validated KAP questionnaire with a problem‐based approach and inclusion of participants from various socio‐cultural backgrounds is required for good quality of evidence.

A BS T R A C T BACKGROUNDBlood is an essential element for human life which constitutes nearly 7% of the human body weight. Blood transfusion is lifesaving in many conditions. Safe blood transfusion is therefore very essential. In order to ensure safe and adequate blood supply when needed, voluntary blood donation must be promoted among healthy individuals. METHODSA retrospective record-based study was done using the records available at MIMS, Mandya during the period January 2017 to December 2017. Analysis was done using MS Excel. A total of 10740 records of blood donors were included in this study. RESULTSOut of 10740 donors, 85.43% of the donors were between 18-35 years; 59.35% of the donors were from rural areas and 96% of them were males. About 93% donors belonged to Hindu religion. Voluntary donors constituted 68.52% of the blood donations. CONCLUSIONSThis study found that certain socio-demographic factors affect blood donation and efforts have to be made to increase voluntary blood donation among the population.
