Journal Title: Chinese Journal of Blood Transfusion - Year 2022, Vol 35, Issue 8

Abstract

Objective To discuss the influence of apheresis platelets donation mode transformation, from walk-in to appointment, on apheresis platelets donation, donor retention and donation service quality. Methods The comparative research method is used to compare the number of apheresis platelets donors, blood donation units, rate of first-time blood donation, rate of repeated blood donation, conversion rate of fixed whole blood donors and satisfaction rate before and after the transformation of donation model. Questionnaires were randomly distributed to apheresis platelets blood donors before and after the transformation to study the evaluation of appointment mode. Results In comparison with walk-in mode, the number of blood donors after adopting the appointment mode was 30 193, with 41.93% (8 920/21 273) increase; number of blood donations was 119 143, with 93.66% (57 622/61 521) increase; platelet donation was 212 717 treatment units, with 103.12% (107 990/104 727) increase; rate of repeated blood donation was 53.56% (16 172/30 193), with 15.43% increase; the number of first-time donors was 15 949, with 57.93% (5 850/10 099) increase; the conversion rate of fixed whole-blood donors was 37.86% (6 039/15 949), with 8.84% increasement; the satisfaction of appointment mode reached 99.81%, with significantly improved satisfaction with blood donation environment and waiting time. Conclusion The appointment mode of apheresis platelet donation has a promoting role in the increase of apheresis platelets donation, the improvement of solid blood donors and the quality of apheresis platelets donation services.
