AbstractTo research the influencing factors of college students' blood donation behavior intention and propose intervention strategies to improve the repeated blood donation rate of college students. Questionnaire survey was used to research and analyze the influencing factors of behavior intention. Amos 21.0 software was used to establish structural equation modeling and perform confirmatory factor analysis. SPSS 20.0 was used for statistic. The model was proved with highly adaptability, with χ2/df = 2.956 < 3. Factors influencing college students' intention of repeat blood donation behavior can be summarized into four: attitude, external motivation, advice-taking, and perceived behavioral control. Among them, attitude and perceived behavioral control have a great direct impact on behavioral intention, while the external motivation and recommendation acceptance have an indirect impact by influencing the other two factors. In view of those evaluation items with high path coefficient in each factor, we can develop recruitment strategies to influence college students’ repeated blood donation behavior and provide scientific suggestions for improving their repeated blood donation rate.

The importance of water is known to one and all. Despite water being the basic human need. Water is one of the precious natural resources each and every living being need to survive. The aim of this study was to access the effectiveness of structured teaching programme on knowledge regarding water conservation methods among the students of selected colleges at Mangaluru, Karanataka, India. A Quasi Experimental one group pre-test and post-test design was adopted to conduct this study. By using simple random sampling 120 college students were selected from the selected college of Mangaluru. Structured knowledge questionaries were used to collect the data after obtaining the written consent. AStructured teaching program was administered after pre- test and then set of post-test questionnaire was given after 7 days. Result showed that, majority i.e.,73.3% of samples had moderate, 25.5% had inadequate knowledge in pre-test, where as in post-test majority of the samples that is 48.3% had moderate knowledge, 42.5% had adequate knowledge regarding water conservation methods. The mean knowledge score in pre-test computed was 7.88±2.48 and in post-test 12.17 ± 3.87, which showed marked increase (4.29) in mean value. The calculated paired 't' test value was 9.84, (t (119) = 1.66 at p ≤ 0.05 signicance level) which showed signicant difference between pre-test and post-test level of knowledge regarding on water conservation methods and structured teaching programme was effective in signicant increasing the knowledge of college students. Result also 2 revealed that there is signicant association with pre-test knowledge score and age in year, type of family (4.52, 5.82.x = 3.84 at p ≤ 0.05 (1) signicance level). The study concluded that, there is requirement of large group mobilization towards water conservation methods. Further study can be conducted through mass communication in assessment of awareness, practice and attitude of different group of people in the communities regarding water conservation and its importance.

Abstract Background: Nationally, African Americans are significantly underrepresented in community blood donation programs. The need to understand the willingness to donate blood among African Americans is essential. In this study, we explore factors that serve as motivators and barriers to blood donation identified by college students at two Historical Black Colleges/Universities (HBCUs). Methods: HBCU students at least 18 years of age were given the opportunity to complete a paper-based or on-line 41-item questionnaire to assess the participant’s demographic background, donation frequency, motivators and barriers toward donation, knowledge and beliefs regarding blood donation, and specific behavioral practices. No personal identifiers were used. Univariate and bivariate analyses were conducted to describe the sample. Results: 409 individuals completed the survey. 95% self-identified as African-American and 45% of college students reported previously donating blood. Student’s felt that incentives, personal requests to donate from blood centers, blood drives sponsored by campus organizations, and the university involvement in promoting blood drives were significant motivating factors for donating blood (p<.05). Significant barriers against blood donation included believing donation was too painful, fear of feeling faint, dizzy, or nauseated, losing valuable time from school or work, too time consuming, and fear of deferral (p<.05). Conclusions: College students are willing to donate blood based on convenience, accessibility, and support from their university. Campus-based recruitment methods geared towards students, specifically those of African American descent, may prove beneficial for increasing the general pool of African American blood donors.
