ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To investigate and analyze the current situation of the human resources as well as blood collection and supply of blood banks of Zhejiang Province, so as to understand the problems existing in the development of human resources and put forward suggestions. 【Methods】 Questionnaires were issued to Blood Center of Zhejiang Province, municipal central blood stations, and county-level central blood banks to investigate the relevant data in 2015 and 2019. Meanwhile, some data were obtained through the Zhejiang Blood Management Information System (BIS3.0), symposiums, and querying medical service data. Statistical analysis was carried out. 【Results】 Among the 28 blood banks, filled the questionnaires, 927 personnel were in accordance with the authorized strength, accounting for 62.26% (927/1 489), and 1069 health technicians, accounting for 71.519% (1 060/1 489). From 2015 to 2019, the annual growth rate of human resources in blood banks was 2.02%, lower than the annual growth rate of whole blood collection volume 4.83% and the annual growth rate of clinical blood supply (red blood cell) 4.82%, lagging behind the annual growth rate of 6.55%, 8.71% and 12.36% in the number of diagnoses, inpatients and surgeries in the hospitals across the province. The average annual growth rate of doctors and nurses in blood banks was 0.17% and 1.67%, lower than that of licebsed doctors and registered nurses of the province, which was 6.78% and 8.27%, respectively. 【Conclusion】 With the development trend of blood collection and supply, the personnel allocation and the proportion of health technicians of blood banks across Zhejiang Province is insufficient. It is suggested to establish a manpower allocation standard suitable to the business volume, give priority to properly solvement of the current employment, strengthen training, and improve the efficiency of physical examination consultation, testing and phlebotomy positions.
ABSTRACT
Objective@#To understand HIV infection status and characteristics of non-remunerated blood donors in Hangzhou.@*Methods@#HIV antibody test were conducted for non-remunerated blood donors in Hangzhou and their demographic and epidemiological information were collected from 2008-2017. χ2 test for trend (liner by liner association chi square test) was used for the comparison of the HIV infection trends in each year.@*Results@#A total of 1 461 129 non-remunerated blood donors were surveyed in Hangzhou during 2008-2017, and 260 blood donors were HIV positive. Most HIV infected blood donors were males (96.5%, 251/260) and aged 18-34 years (72.7%, 189/260). Among 260 HIV positive blood donors, those reporting repeated non-remunerated blood donation accounted for 36.9% (96/260), those reporting homosexual transmission accounted for 53.5% (139/260) and those reporting heterosexual transmission accounted for 44.6% (116/260). The HIV infected persons reporting homosexual behaviors were mainly aged 18-34 years (82.0%, 114/139) and unmarried (71.2%, 99/139). Most HIV infected students reported homosexual transmission (88.4%, 23/26). The crude HIV positive rate was 0.8/10 000-2.5/10 000, the differences in annual HIV positive rate had no significance (trend χ2=2.355, P=0.125). The crude HIV positive rate in male blood donors aged 18-24 years increased from 1.1/10 000 in 2008 to 3.7/10 000 in 2017, the difference was significant (trend χ2=5.175, P=0.023). Standardized HIV positive rate was 0.9/10 000-2.4/10 000.@*Conclusions@#HIV infection rate was low in non-remunerated blood donors in Hangzhou during 2008-2017. Most HIV infected persons were males and aged 18-34 years. Heterosexual and homosexual contacts were the major transmission routes. The HIV positive rate in males aged 18-24 years showed an increase trend.
ABSTRACT
Objective To analyze and evaluate the current progress of blood transfusion department establishment and clinical blood transfusion management in Hangzhou,China.Methods Questionnaires were sent to 35 medical institutions to gather information regarding blood transfusion department establishment and clinical blood transfusion management in the provincial,municipal and county tier hospitals.The investigated criteria covered the establishment of the hospital blood transfusion management committee,the utilization of software and hardware of the transfusion department,the compatibility status of various software systems in use and performance evaluation of these systems in clinical applications,etc.In addition,tests were also conducted on members of the blood transfusion departments to confirm whether they are properly trained and present adequated knowledge of clinical blood applications Results were then collected for statistical and descriptive analyses.Results The results out of the 35 hospitals surveyed presented no obvious statistical significance.Nevertheless,the average score of these hospitals in different segments helped us to reach the following conclusions:1,Triple-A hospitals scored the highest average score for patient clinical status evaluation pre-transfusion;2.Double-B hospitals came first when it comes to patient clinical status evaluation post transfusion;3.Triple-B hospitals possessed the most thorough clinical records for transfusion treatment.A total of 350 papers were issued and 350 papers were collected,with 327 out of the 350 considered valid.As for the test results regarding the departments members,triple-A,triple-B and double-A hospitals scored significantly higher than double-B and unranked hospitals.(P＜0.05);.350 clinical transfusion records were also collected and 247 of which are considered valid.It appears there are numerous difference in Hb indexes among the tested hospitals and even the departments of internal medicine and surgical presented different takes on the subject as well.Conclusion The clinical blood transfusion management in Zhejiang province and the establishment of blood transfusion departments still need to be improved.A plan to manage clinical blood use need to be carried out ASAP,which would specify evaluation references,standardize personnel training and tech investments.Ultimately,we hope such actions would help to further regulate the clinical blood use in the region.
ABSTRACT
Objective To compare and analyze the supply of blood collection and clinical blood demand in Hangzhou during 2011-2016,and to put forward some countermeasures and suggestions.Methods The related data of blood collection in blood center and the indexs of clinical blood demand in all hospitals in Hangzhou were collected during 2011-2016,and the growth rates of both of them were compared and analyzed.Results 1) The data of blood collection and supply was the lowest in 2012,and then increased year by year.The average annual growth of platelet collection and supply was 8.09％ and 8.47％,respectively,and the other indicators grew relatively gently.In 2016,the rate of blood donation reached 18.28 per thousand people.At the same period,the number of staff in institutions was basically stable.2) During 2011-2016,the blood demand of all hospitals in Hangzhoa maintained rapid growth.In Hangzhou,the number of hospitals increased by 10.65％ annually,and until 2016,there was an increase of 65.87％ over 2011.The average annual growth of the number of beds,the number of emergency patients and the number of inpatients increased by 10.21％,6.09％ and 11.40％ respectively.The growth rate of number of inpatients was higher than that of outpatient and emergency departments.Hospital employees remained at an average annual growth rate of nearly 10％.3) The clinical demand for blood increased significantly more higher than the growth of blood collection and supply.Conclusion Speed up the pace of the construction of blood supply,and keep pace with the construction of hospitals.Strengthening the publicity,health education and promotion models,in order to encourage more people,who are eligible for blood donation,to join the blood donation.And also strengthening personnel team building,improving overall work efficiency and level.
