ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To explore the application effect of target management combined with intelligent display system on apheresis platelet donor recruitment. 【Methods】 Control group: 317 apheresis platelet donors were recruited according to the conventional appointment mode of intelligent display system from October 2020 to March 2021, with a total of 1 073 donations. Experimental group: 404 apheresis platelet donors were recruited using quantitative target management plus the intelligent display system from April 2021 to September 2021, with a total of 1 308 donations. The number of first-time donors, repeated donors, recalled donors after first-time donation, and their corresponding donations, as well as the double-dose collection rate, and the transfer-in/-out of platelet product were analyzed and compared. 【Results】 The number of first-time donors increased from 89 (28.08%) to 179 (44.31%) while repeated donors decreased from 228 (71.92%) to 225 (55.69%), all P0.05.The cumulative number of first-time and repeated platelet donors increased from 149 (13.89%) to 331 (25.31%), and 924 (86.11%) to 977 (74.69%), respectively(all P0.05). The double-dose collection rate decreased from 24.70% (265/1 073) to 13.46% (176/1 308)(P<0.05). The proportion of transfer-in platelets decreased from 3.64% (48/1 317) to 1.52% (22/1 452), while transfer-out platelet increased from 0.23% (3/1 317) to 2.34% (34/1 452)(all P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The intelligent display system is conducive to facilitate the development of platelet donor recruitment and ensure the clinical supply of apheresis platelets.
ABSTRACT
【Objective】 To strengthen the detail management of plateletpheresis venipuncture so as to reduce repeated puncture and further retain apheresis donors. 【Methods】 1 930 donations, involving 324 donors(including 92 first-time donors), with conventional venipuncture from October 1, 2018 to September 30, 2019 (controls) were compared with 1 873 donations, involving 353 donors(including 101 first-time donors), with optimized venipuncture from October 1, 2019 to September 30, 2020(experiment). The repeated puncture rate of the two groups and that contributed by rotating and fixed phlebotomists, respetively, the profile of donors suffered several repeated puncture and the re-donation rate of first-time apheresis donors were analyzed. 【Results】 The rate of secondary puncture in the experimental group(1.07%, 20/1 873) was lower than that in the control group(3.52%, 68/1 930)(P0.05). Control group fixed blood collection nurses had secondary puncture rate(1.85%, 16/863)lower than rotation blood collection nurses(4.87%, 52/1 067)(P<0.05). Experimental group of the same blood donor observation period occurred 1, 2 and above the rate of secondary puncture [5.10%(18/353)、0.28%(1/353)] were lowerthan the control group [10.19%(33/324)、4.01%(13/324)] (P<0.05). the re-donation rate of first-time platelet donors(67.33%, 68/101)was higher in experimental group than in control group(50.00%, 46/92)(P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The repeated puncture rate has been significantly decreased by strengthening the detail management of apheresis venepuncture, which promotes, caring for blood donors and conducive to the recruitment and retention of apheresis donors.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: The purpose of this study is to empirically find out the affecting factors on the willingness to platelet apheresis. METHODS: Data were collected from 505 platelet apheresis donors and college students of major cities in Korea using the self-administered questionnaire. RESULTS: First, the level of positive cognition and affectivity to platelet apheresis donation and satisfaction for service during donation process among platelet apheresis donors were significantly higher than that among students only experiencing whole blood donation and students never experiencing blood donation. Second, valence for external and internal reward and knowledge of platelet apheresis among platelet apheresis donors were significantly higher than that among students only experiencing whole blood donation and students never experiencing blood donation. Third, platelet apheresis donors and students experiencing whole blood donation were more sound in character and more active in volunteer works, and had healthier behavior than students never experiencing blood donation. Fourth, the results of multiple regression analysis showed a statistically significant positive relationship between the willingness to platelet apheresis and valence for internal and external reward, satisfaction for service during donation process, and health behavior. CONCLUSIONS: These findings suggest that strategy for effective public relation and improvement of blood donor satisfaction should be developed in order to enhance willingness to platelet apheresis.
