ABSTRACT

【Objective】 To understand the structural characteristics of lapsed apheresis donors in our blood center and provide guidance for further improving recruitment and retention strategies by retrospectively analyzing the characteristics of lapsed apheresis donors in our center in recent years. 【Methods】 The apheresis donation and lapsed apheresis donors in Zhejiang Blood Center from 2016 to 2020 were statistically analyzed, and the general information of lapsed donors, including gender, blood type, age, education level and occupation composition, were compared and analyzed. The lapse of novel and long-term donors with different frequency were retrospectively analyzed. The SPSS 19.0 statistical software package was used for data analysis. 【Results】 In 2020, the total lapse of apheresis donors decreased by 16.6% as compared with 2016(P<0.05). The lapse rate of donors with blood groups A, B, O and AB was 1∶1∶1∶1, higher in female donors(59.0%) than males(50.0%), and dominated by age group of 18-35(66.3%). With the increase of age, the lapse rate decreased. Donors lapsed were mainly with college or above educational background(60.8%), with high proportion in students and the staff. In 2020, the lapse of novel apheresis donors decreased by 34.1% as compared with 2016, but the average lapse rate of novel apheresis donors was still as high as 70.5%. The average lapse rate of blood donors with different frequency was 52.5%, and the lapse rate decreased significantly with the increase of apheresis donation frequency. The average lapse rate of novel blood donors with whole blood donation experience was lower than those without (56.1% vs 82.9%). 【Conclusion】 Multiple measures for recruitment and retention have effectively reduced the lapse of apheresis donors. However, apheresis donors who are 18-35 years old, with college degree or above, students and staff were the main groups from lapsing. In addition, low-frequency and novel apheresis donors without whole blood donation experience were more likely to be lapsing. Targeted and personalized blood donation services should be further provided, and the management of " full cycle of blood donation" should be strengthened to reduce the lapsing, so as to retain more blood donors.

ABSTRACT

Objective In order to improve blood donors to understand the health education knowledge,this study designed and evaluated a new project,that is the health education pathway for primary apheresis donors.Methods A total of 2900 primary apheresis donors participated in the current study,who were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group.The experimental group was performed the health education pathway for primary apheresis donors,while the control group was conducted in the traditional health educational ways.We compared the basic information,the awareness rate of apheresis donation knowledge,the number of regnlar/repeated donors,and the frequency of donations.Results Two groups were matched with no group differences in basic information (P>0.05).After performed the health education pathway for primary apheresis donors,the awareness rate of apheresis donation knowledge was significantly improved from 23.6% to 84.3% (P<0.01).Moreover,the percentage of regular donors (40.2%) in the experimental group higher than the percentage (26.7%) in the control group(P<0.01).The average donation times of experimental group (3.8) was also higher than the control group.There were 79.2% donors changed to regular/repeated donors higher than the percentage (66.4%) in the control group,and the average frequency of apheresis of those regular/repeated apheresis donors (7.4) in the experimental group higher than the control group (6.4) (P<0.01).Conclusion As showed in our results,the health education pathway for primary apheresis donors could effectively help donors to understand the knowledge of blood donation and health care,and promote team construction of regular donors.We hope,in the future,the health education pathway for primary apheresis donors could be widely spread.
