Blood donor caring and retention: detail management of plateletpheresis venipuncture / 中国输血杂志

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.
