Background:  Blood donation is the voluntary withdrawal of blood from an individual, after undergoing some medical screening in order to ensure the safety of both the donor and the recipient. Blood donation is crucial and indispensable in the medical process of saving lives. Globally, 112.5 million blood donations were made in 180 countries in 2013. Uganda needs at least 340,000 units of safe blood annually, but usually, only 200,000 units are collected yearly. Although massive blood donation campaigns are carried out to obtain blood, there is still more demand for blood within hospitals. Student populations are considered healthy, active, and receptive, thus, regarded as potential blood donors. This study sought to explore the barriers to blood donation among MUST students. Methodology:  A qualitative descriptive design was used in this study. A purposive sampling method was used to select respondents from different faculties at MUST. Four FGDs were employed in the study and data were collected using a focus group discussion guide. Inductive content analysis was used to analyze data. Results:  The study revealed different barriers to blood donation among students. Three broad themes were generated from the analysis; personal barriers related to blood donation, socio-cultural variations affecting blood donation, and the barriers concerning the blood donation process.  Conclusion and recommendations:  Although participants reported willingness to donate blood, it was found to be affected by barriers ranging from individuals related to the system/process in which blood is collected. Addressing these barriers may improve blood donation by MUST students.

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.

Safe Blood

Every year patients of various diseases need blood. Among them some need regular transfusion of blood. Hence, safe blood save life but unsafe one takes life. Ensuring regular flow of safe blood is a great challenge for the community in developing countries. Various public and private organizations are working for this purpose. Although the number of blood donor is increasing, there is still a huge gap in demand and supply of blood. A study has conducted to find out problems in getting blood donor in Bangladesh. Data have been collected from 430 respondents in different urban and rural areas of Bangladesh. Moreover, in depth interviews have conducted with hospital authority, blood donating organizations, public and private organizations and volunteers who work for various blood donating organizations. This study finds that patients need blood for delivery case (76%), surgery (55%), kidney diseases (33%), thalassemia (37%) and anemia (41%). About 48% blood seekers report that they require about 19-24 hours for managing each bag of blood. The seekers also report that they collect blood from relatives (77%), blood donating organizations (33%) and blood bank (26%). About 26% donors report that they have to pass more than 6 km for blood donation. They also spend money more than 100 taka (12%) for this purpose. Before and during blood donation, donors face several problems such as transportation problem (38%), coping with emergency case (32%), unskilled staff (29%), health related problem (15%) and lengthy cross checking process (35%). There are a number of people want to donate blood willingly. However, they can’t donate due to lack of available communication with blood seekers. Maintaining database of donors, training staffs and using technologies and machines for blood donation process can solve problems in blood donation.

Willingness To Donate

Background In situations of increased need, such as mass casualty incidents (MCIs) and COVID-19, donated blood products are in shortage across the United States. Medical students are a potential pool for blood donors. The aim of this study was to determine overall attitudes of medical students at a single academic institution toward blood donation during times of increased need. Methods Three anonymous REDCap surveys were administered to all medical students at a rural academic institution. Surveys 1 and 2 were administered preceding and after an institution-wide MCI drill, in September and November 2019, respectively. Survey 3 was administered following a student-organized COVID-19 blood drive in June 2020. Multivariable analysis was performed to determine if factors, ie, experience with MCI drills and emergency medical services (EMS) training, were associated with willingness to donate blood. Furthermore, barriers to donation among those not willing to donate were assessed. Results Overall response rate for MCI surveys (surveys 1 and 2) was 38% (mean age 25.2 years and 50% women). 91% (n = 210) of respondents were willing to donate blood. Previous participation in MCI drills and EMS training was not associated with higher willingness to donate blood. Response rate for survey 3 was 15.6% (59.4% women), and 30 (31.3%) respondents indicated they did not volunteer to donate blood during the COVID-19 drive. Most common reasons for not donating were “other,” medical concerns, and being out-of-town. Conclusions Majority of medical students are willing to donate blood during times of increased need and offer a possible solution to increase blood donor pool.

Background: A significant imbalance in access to safe blood is seen between the developing and developed countries. Donor selection has a pivotal role in preventing transfusion related complications and provide safety to the recipients. In this study, we aimed to find out rate and causes of blood donor rejection in our hospital.  Methods: A retrospective study conducted in a tertiary care hospital involving both the voluntary and replacement donors during the period September 2017 to December 2018. We included all those donors who were considered unfit for blood donation. All those who came for blood donation at our hospital were asked to fill up an enrolment form for a blood donor. A general and systemic examination were done. We calculated the rejection rate, listed the reasons for donor rejection, and analyzed the data.Results: Among 150 rejected blood donors, most were males [129 (86%)], and the rest were females [21 (14%)]. The rejection rate in our study was 3.29%. We found that the rejection rate of donors was different among voluntary and replacement donors. It showed that the most common reason for the temporary rejection of blood donation was low hemoglobin level, followed by abnormal blood pressure.  Conclusions: A vast majority of donors were rejected temporarily [132 (88%)], while the rest of them were rejected permanently [18 (12%)]. Low Hb in females and abnormal blood pressure in males were the commonest causes of blood donor rejection. Many factors affect the similarities and variations between the most typical causes of blood donor rejection, such as geographical area, cultural, socio-economic, and educational factors.

The Relationship

Competences of the nurse can be a good ability when supported with a positive perception of nurses about the competence itself. This study describe the nurse competencies in taking care patients with mental disorders and barriers in the implementation of these competencies.This study design used qualitative descriptive phenomenology. Population was nurse who worked at the Mental Hospital. Participants were 17 nurses from two  Mental Hospital in East Java which obtained by purposive sampling. Data was collected by indepth interview and focus group discussion (FGD). Equipment tools used media player, FGD guidelines and field notes. The data were analyzed by thematically analysis based Colaizzi .            The results produce eight themes. The nurse's perception of competence in caring for patients with mental disorders are implementing nursing care, Standard Procedures Operational (SPO) and nursing modality therapy. While nurses encounter obstacles when applying competence in the implementation of nursing documentation, limited facilities, the lack of effectiveness management system, limited human resource and the condition of the patient. The findings of this study can be used by nurses as a material to develop documentation formats more effectively and hospital management are expected to pay more attention to aspects of the guidance and supervision of the implementation of competence. Research suggested based on the findings is to analyze the relationship between supervision and nurse’s performance and satisfaction Keyword: Nurse, Competencies, Mental Disorder

Road handling and utility installation in Denpasar City Area are still running based on the work program of each agency and have not yet been integrated. Utility owners conduct system repairs or additions according to consumer demand. However, in the implementation, they do not synergize with the road organizer program. The restoration of road pavement conditions is not optimal and has potential to damage the utility system as a result of these circumstances. This study aims to analyze the existing conditions, the synergy program constraints, and the correct strategies to synergize road handling and utility system installation. Data were collected using questionnaire survey, interview, and focus group discussion. Purposive sampling method was chosen to select respondents. Subsequently, the data collected were analyzed using qualitative descriptive and SWOT analysis. The results of the analysis show that synergistic conditions have not been implemented. The constraints faced by the program synergy are the ineffectiveness of coordination and collaboration between relevant stakeholders, ineffectiveness of stakeholder involvement, lack of vision and mission of stakeholders to make changes, stakeholders being reluctant to change, budget constraints, lack of stakeholder innovation, operational and maintenance costs of integrated projects, and relatively large and stakeholders have not initiated integrated project management. The strategies undertaken to create program synergy are: preparing regional regulations and regulations, forming joint teams, synergizing road and utility network databases, creating pilot projects and setting up an online complaints service.
