Journal Title: Chinese Journal of Blood Transfusion - Year 2023, Vol 36, Issue 1
Abstract
Objective To understand the current status and shortcomings of the informed consent of blood donors, and to ensure that the informed consent of blood donors complies with ethical norms and management requirements. Methods From January 1 to 31, 2022, the " Informed Consent Form for Blood Donor" and " Health Status Consultation Form", issued by 6 blood services in Beijing, Shanghai, Tianjin, Chongqing, Guangzhou and Zhejiang, were collected. The contents regarding individual informed consent were set as an analysis unit; 7 first-level codes such as the form of information disclosure, 19 second-level codes such as the title of the content to be informed, and 56 items such as the content to be informed before blood donation were established to make frequency statistics. Results The informed consent, issued by six blood centers, included such elements as the form of information disclosure, blood donation process and risks, authenticity of information, donor shielding requirements, screening for transfusion-transmitted infections, other uses of blood, and consent decisions. The second-level coding with frequency≥ 4 included 12 items(63.16%), such as the title of informed consent, truthful provision of health consultation information, and blood donation under real-name, of which precautions after blood donation, privacy statement, and withdrawal were " unexplained" frequency codes. The proportion of 56 items with frequency 1~6 was 55.36%, 12.50%, 10.71%, 17.86%, 1.79% and 1.79%, respectively. Conclusion The informed consent forms and health status consultation forms play a certain role in explaining and conducting informed consent in different places, but some contents are scattered and lack of specifications, information notification weights in shielding requirements while lacks post-donation care and privacy protection, and the decision-making process is inadequate. A standardized content framework for informed consent of blood donors should be established, the caring for blood donors should be promoted, and the full process of consent decision-making should be valued seriously.
