Abstract

The purpose of this study was to examine knowledge, attitude, and altruism on blood donation and influential factors in regard to its experience. Data were collected through questionnaires with a convenience sample of 311 healthcare providers. Subjects with blood donation experience accounted for 63.3%. In both nurses and laboratory technologist, the rate of blood donation in male group has higher than that of female group. There were differences in the knowledge of blood donation dependent upon the type of occupation of healthcare providers and the higher age and the longer period of career experience proved to be the significant factor for the level of altruism. The study suggests that more practical, concrete strategies should be identified to participate in blood donation. The further relevant variables need to be investigated since the most determinant motivator for blood donation among healthcare providers was the responsibility to help others.

본 연구의 목적은 헌혈에 대한 지식과 태도, 이타성을 조사하고 헌혈경험과 관련한 요인을 조사하기 위함이다. 자료는 311명의 보건의료인을 편의추출하여 설문지를 통해 조사하였다. 헌혈경험이 있는 대상자는 63.3%를 나타냈다. 간호사와 임상병리사 중 남자들의 헌혈 참여 비율이 여자보다 더 높게 나타났다. 보건의료인의 직업 유형에 따라 헌혈 지식에 차이가 있었고, 연령과 경력이 더 높은 군이 이타성 수준에 유의한 차이가 있는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구의 결과는 헌혈에 참여하기 위해 더 실제적이고 구체적인 전략이 확인되어야 함을 시사한다. 추후에는 보건의료인들이 헌혈에 참여하는 가장 중요한 동기요인이 다른 사람을 돕기 위한 책임감이었으므로 책임감과 관련한 변인을 조사할 필요가 있다.
