The epidemiological profile of donors and non-donors of blood in Morocco
Blood donation in Morocco
Abstract
Introduction: In Morocco, blood donation is voluntary, anonymous, and voluntary. The promotion of blood donation has evolved favorably thanks to strategies based on the creation of a multi-sector promotion system. The transformation of family donors into voluntary donors and the retention of voluntary donors is the major challenge of the national blood transfusion center.
Materials and methods: This is an analytical quantitative cross-sectional study on a target population made up of 1000 participants. The collection tool was a self-administered, anonymous questionnaire made up of closed questions concerning the socio-demographic profile of the participants, and their knowledge and attitudes about the blood donation operation as well as their motivation and limitations of the donation. The responses were collected and entered by a team of graduate students in sociology. Data were analyzed by SPSS 20 software.
Results: Among the 953 participants, their mean age (Standard Deviation) is 32.56 (12.993) years, with 63.4% of the participants under the age of 34 (n = 429). For data relating to blood donation, 69.3% of the participants thought they did not know the blood group (n = 660), more than 70% thought of the existence of the illegal sale of blood in Morocco (n = 668). 69.3% of the participants think they do not know the blood type (n = 660), more than 70%, though of the existence of the illegal sale of blood in Morocco (n = 668), 70.8% do not know someone who has had or require an organ or tissue transplant (n = 479).
Conclusion: The need for blood is sharply increasing. an enormous shortage hence the need for epidemiological study to highlight the various difficulties that hamper the promotion of blood donation.
