RESUMO
【Objective】 To apply the spatial distribution analysis based on ArcGIS software, which has been applied widely in other fields, so as to analyze the intended locations for whole blood donation. 【Methods】 After a random stratified sampling was conducted among blood donors in the 17 donation sites during August 1st, 2021- July 30th, 2022, their intended blood donation locations were collected by an e-questionnaire. Addresses of donors′ intended donation locations were derived for GCJ-02 coordinates form and transformed by pandas module of Python to WGS84 coordinates, which further loaded to ArcGIS Arcmap module using Grouping Analysis for 17 median centers. The addresses of 17 blood donation sites in Guangzhou Blood Center were transformed to WGS84 coordinates and loaded to ArcGIS Arcmap module using the same methods for 3 ring buffer analysis. The criterion for judging whether the two were " matched" was whether the intended blood donation sites were covered by or adjacent to the 3 ring buffer zone of the existing blood donation sites. 【Results】 Of the 17 potential sites obtained from the spatial distribution analysis of 40 523 valid addresses of donors, 8 sites were covered or adjacent to the buffer of the existing donation sites, while the other 9 sites were far away from the existing donation sites. 【Conclusion】 By analyzing the spatial distribution of donors′ intended donation addresses, we can find out the service needs of donors for donating blood conveniently, which can provide basis for further blood donation service optimization.
RESUMO
【Objective】 To analyze the related factors affecting first-time platelet donors to become regular donors in Guangzhou in 2018, so as to provide reference for the retention of platelet donors. 【Methods】 The data of 4 361 first-time platelet donors in Guangzhou in 2018, including age, gender, initial donation unit, time for the primary and secondary donation were collected. The relevant factors affecting first-time blood donors to become regular donors were analyzed by Logistic regression analysis. 【Results】 Among the influencing factors, first-time donors returned in the first month were more likely to become regular donors (5.569 times that of those did not return)(OR 95% CI: 4.748~6.533, P<0.05). First-time donors who aged 45~60, and initially donated 2 units were more likely to become regular donors than those aged 18~24(1.857 times) (OR 95% CI: 1.413~2.441, P<0.05), and those initially donated only one unit (1.695 time) (OR 95% CI: 1.486~1.933, P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 The returning in the first month, age and initial donation units predict long-term commitment for first-time donors. Encouraging first-time platelet donors to return within 1 month is more likely to convert them into regular blood donors.
RESUMO
【Objective】 To investigate the positive and negative influencing factors concerning repeated blood donation among college students, in order to provide reference for the maintenance and retention of college student blood donors. 【Methods】 The questionnaire was made in terms of motivators, barriers and social supports related to repeated blood donation based on relevant literature at home and broad and the results of semi-structured interviews. From November to December 2020, 1 200 college donors from 10 colleges in Guangzhou were selected. The results of questionnaires were analyzed with Chi-square test and multivariate logistic regression by SPSS 26.0. 【Results】 Good for health, shortage of blood, favorable policy concerning blood donation, and blood need of family members were the four motivators of repeated blood donation. The inconvenience of blood donation location and dissatisfaction with blood donation souvenir were the two barriers. In addition, encouragement from classmates and curiosity were the two motivators, and harmful to health was the barrier in first-time college blood donors. 【Conclusion】 Blood banks should strengthen the publicity of blood related knowledge, preferential policies concerning blood donation, and status of blood collection and supply, etc, make full use of the influence of peers and the favorable environment of colleges to form a right atmosphere for blood donation, and enhance the reputation and service of blood banks.
RESUMO
【Objective】 To study and analyze the fluctuation of peripheral blood of apheresis platelet donors aged 56~60, so as to provide data support for safe recruitment and retention of elderly donorsin China. 【Methods】 Elderly apheresisplatelet donors, aged 56~60, donated for 6 769 occasions from 2017 to 2019 in Guangzhou Blood Center were analyzed retrospectively and grouped by gender and age. The fluctuation of peripheral blood was analyzed byone way ANOVA.Further pairwise comparison was carried out by Turky if there were statistical differences. 【Results】 All the peripheral blood levels were statistically significant between men and women aged around 56 (P<0.05). The Plt(×109 / L), RBC(×1012 / L) and Hb(g/L) of women after and before 56 were (274.33±49.47) vs (296.61±44.89), (4.48±0.35) vs (4.4±0.3), and (125.87±9.08) vs (128.33±8.79), respectively, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05), while no differences was noticed between them inWBC(×109 / L) and Hct, (6.29±1.36) vs (6.26±1.46) and (0.39±0.05) vs (0.39±0.02), respectively(P>0.05). The RBC(1012 / L), Hb(g/L), WBC(×109 / L) and Hctof men after and before 56 were (4.94±0.39) vs (4.91±0.35), (137.15±12.83) vs (141.29±10.67), (5.77±1.23) vs (6.03±1.26) and (0.42±0.03) vs (0.42±0.03), respectively, and the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05), and no significant difference was noticed in Plt(×109 / L)(283.94±59.63) vs (283.5±62.7)(P>0.05). There was no significant difference in Plt between men and women after 56 (P>0.05). The RBC, Hb and Hct of men around 56 were higher than those of women (P<0.05). The deferral rate of pretransfusion blood testing increased as the platelet donors were older than 56, showing statistical significance(P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Fluctuation of peripheral blood levelof platelet donors aged 56~60 occurred when they were around 56 years old, but within the normal range.Therefore, blood donation is generally safe under the current policy. As the physiological regulation function of these donors has decreased, the monitoring of peripheral blood routine before and after blood donation needs to be strengthened to ensure blood quality and the health of elderly platelet donors.
