Journal Title: Indian Journal of Scientific Research - Year 2016, Vol 6, Issue 2

Abstract

The present study was planned with the aim of identifying barriers to blood donation from a tertiary care teaching institution.When asked what would prevent them fromgiving blood,21%said it was too inconvenient,18%were afraid of needles, 17% stated it took too much time, 12% were concerned about contracting a disease while giving blood, and 7% were concerned about finding out if they had a disease.Medical reasons reported as preventing donations included anemia, 18%; diabetes,4%;and pregnancy, 4%. Eleven percent of the respondents answered ''don't know'' or refused to answer, while 7% gave no reason. Low education status (OR = 2.25, 95% CI 1.51 – 5.23) and low socioeconomic status (OR = 4.47, 95% CI 2.11 – 15.06) were found to be significantly associated with poor knowledge regarding blood donation.
