ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To explore how the awareness and prevention status of COVID-19 epidemic, as well as anxiety affect blood donation behaviors of college students. 【Methods】 From June 7 to 13, 2020, students from two colleges in Jinhua were given self-made questionnaires through Wenjuanxing (a platform providing functions equivalent to Amazon Mechanical Turk), general demographic information, voluntary blood donation, core knowledge and prevention measures of COVID-19, as well as general anxiety were investigated. 466 valid questionnaires were collected, and the influencing factors of voluntary blood donation were analyzed by Logistic regression. 【Results】 College students donated(88.1±19.8)% were more likely to conduct qualified protections against COVID-19 than non-donation students(83.3±19.0)%(P<0.05), and be less anxious (9.68±4.80 vs 10.86±4.74, P<0.05). During COVID-19 outbreak, male donors was 3.732 times females(P<0.05). The donation rate of students with good awareness of COVID-19 protection, getting 60.0% correct or more, was 4.663 times students getting 60.0% below correct (P<0.05), and students with anxiety total score below 10 points was 2.227 times those above 10 points(P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Gender, awareness of protections against COVID-19, and anxiety level are important factors affecting the blood donation behaviors of college students during COVID-19 epidemic, therefore strengthening psychological counseling and improving protection measures against COVID-19 are conductive to promote blood donation of college students during COVID-19 epidemic.
