The existence and sustenance of the blood bank depends on blood donors. It is imperative that the donation experience is satisfactory for the donors. Therefore this study was carried out to determine the frequency of undesirable events experienced by the blood donor as part of donor haemovigilance. This was a retrospective descriptive study of the events that occurred amongst the blood donors of the blood bank of a tertiary institution. The blood donor incident book was reviewed for the period of six months. Negative undesirable events occurred in 2% of the donor populations, of which 45.8% could not complete the blood donation process while only 16.7% completed the blood donation process. Mild vasovagal attack occurred in 0.2% of the donor population. Undisclosed deferrable risk factors/ behaviours were identified by the phlebotomist in the bleeding room which made donors unfit for donation even though they had passed the donor screening criteria. This accounted for 20.8% of those with negative experience. Guidelines are required to identify donors that are not likely to complete donation to avoid wastage of time, blood, resources and reduce undesirable experiences.

Objective: to analyze the aspects that hinder blood donation and strategies to attract donors. Methods: qualitative study conducted with 12 donors. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews and analyzed using Content Analysis. Results: regarding the complicating aspects, the lack of time and little flexibility in service hours, the displacement in accessing the service and the fear of the donation process were scored. As strategies for attraction, the interviewees talked about the dissemination and internal campaigns in companies, education in schools and universities, loyalty of donors, flexibility in the hours of the blood center and mobile units for blood donation at strategic points in the city. Conclusion: donors pointed out difficulties and suggestions for strategies, constituting relevant information for innovative proposals that help in the process of attracting new blood donors.

The participation of women in blood donation process has been scarce equallyin low & high resourced countries. Every year 3.5 million blood donations are collected inPakistan with very little percentage of females donating blood. Objective: The objective of thestudy was to assess the knowledge, attitude and beliefs of female attendants accompanyingthe patients. Study Design: Cross-sectional study. Setting: The Children’s Hospital & Instituteof Child Health, Lahore, regarding blood donation. Period: 1st June to 31st December, 2015.Material & Methods: 306 females of age 16-50 years accompanying a patient in the hospitalwere randomly selected. After taking informed consent, a self-designed questionnaire validatedby Kappa Statistics program was distributed to the participants. Data was analyzed by usingSPSS 22. Results: The mean age of female attendants was 29.57 years. 31.7% had neverreceived any education. Only 12.7% had donated blood before. 93.8% had the idea that ablood transfusion is a lifesaving procedure but only half of them knew the common bloodgroups. 87.3% knew that both males and females can donate blood but 75.5% thought thatmales are better donors than females. There was a lack of knowledge about certain importantfacts including transfusion transmissible infections, donation frequency, duration and volumeof blood collected during a single session. Majority females were of the view that they are toofragile to donate blood and severe and prolonged anemia can develop after donating blood.Conclusion: There is a need to develop effective interventions for the education & motivationof potential female donors towards blood donation in order to increase the donor turnover rate.

Donor Deferral

In April 2020, in light of COVID-19-related blood shortages, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reduced the deferral period for men who have sex with men (MSM) from its previous duration of 1 year to 3 months. Although originally born out of necessity, the decades-old restrictions on MSM donors have been mitigated by significant advancements in HIV screening, treatment, and public education. The severity of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic—and the urgent need for safe blood products to respond to such crises—demands an immediate reconsideration of the 3-month deferral policy for MSM. We review historical HIV testing and transmission evidence, discuss the ethical ramifications of the current deferral period, and examine the issue of noncompliance with donor deferral rules. We also propose an eligibility screening format that involves an individual risk-based screening protocol and, unlike current FDA guidelines, does not effectively exclude donors on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation. Our policy proposal would allow historically marginalized community members to participate with dignity in the blood donation process without compromising blood donation and transfusion safety outcomes.

Transfusion medicine has advanced to a laboratory-based clinical discipline because of key discoveries and technical advances. These include the discovery of blood group antigens and the understanding of the host immune response to these antigens, development of methods of anticoagulation and storage of blood, and creation of plastic bags that allow sterile fractionation of whole blood into components. The potential of blood to act as an agent of disease transmission has heavily shaped both the donation process and transfusion practice. This chapter offers information to help the physician decide whether to transfuse. It includes sections on blood donation (autologous and directed), on postdonation screening procedures for the presence of viral agents (e.g., hepatitis, retrovirus, and emerging infectious pathogens), on pretransfusion testing (i.e., antigen phenotyping and testing for the presence of antibodies), and on blood components. Sections give specific information on transfusion of red cells, platelets, fresh frozen plasma, and recombinant clotting factors. Indications and complications of apheresis are described. Complications of transfusions are discussed, as are future prospects for transfusion therapy. Tables detail the advantages and disadvantages of autologous donation, estimated risks of blood transfusion, characteristics of blood products and indications for their use, plasma and recombinant clotting factors, indications for recombinant factor VIIa therapy, indications for the use of irradiated blood products, indications for the use of cytomegalovirus-negative blood products, and recommendations for therapeutic apheresis. This chapter contains 154 references.

Abstract Background Despite recognition that blood donation is an affectively poignant process, many aspects of donors’ emotional experiences and their consequences remain unexamined. Purpose This study tracked the donor’s experience of several positive and negative emotions live as they arose during the donation process and tracked the impact of that experience on donor return. Methods New whole blood donors (N = 414) reported their experience of 10 positive and 10 negative discrete emotions before, during, and after donation. Return behavior of these donors and a business-as-usual control group was tracked over the next 6 months. Results In total, 46.4% of participants and 43.2% of the control group returned to donate within 6 months. On the basis of established relevance to blood donation and statistical considerations, group-based latent trajectories of three emotions (joy, calm, and stress) were modeled over time, revealing five classes of emotion trajectories. A trajectory of low/increasing joy and calm and high/decreasing stress was associated with significantly lower probability of return (preturn = .28, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 0.20, 0.38) relative to all but one other trajectory group and the control group. A trajectory of medium-high/increasing joy, high calm, and low/decreasing stress was associated with a significantly greater probability of return (preturn = .59, 95% CI = 0.49, 0.69) relative to two other trajectory classes and the control group. Conclusions By identifying blood donors’ emotion trajectories over time and the impact of those trajectories on return behavior, this research paves the way for the development of effective emotion-focused interventions to boost retention.
