Gifting Life: What do our Support Staff Think?
Journal Title: International Journal of Pharmaceutical and Medicinal Reserach - Year 2015, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Always, we look hospital staff, including medical and paramedic support staff as a source of inspiration, and a constant source of motivation for various health related behaviors, including blood donations, As paramedical support staff is included to a more extent in the interactions with patients and relatives of patients, they have a prominent role in bringing out behavior change communication. So this study was undertaken to know the perceptions of the support staff about blood donation. Though most of the participants were accepting it to be a noble cause and cause which can save someone’s life, some were afraid of weakness and possibilities of transmission of infections, along with hygenic conditions and safety. These type of exercises can be useful while formulating policies and creating awareness about the noble cause.
