“…Of those that donated, majority donated for relatives while very few did so voluntarily. This raises concern for the availability of life saving blood in times of emergency and the fact that the safest blood donors are found among people who donate their blood voluntarily as the risk of transfusion transmissible diseases is highest with the blood procured from remunerated donors [11][12][13]. Studies in Pakistan and Peshawar also found that majority of the donors did so for families while only few donated blood voluntarily [14,15].…”

Abstract:The practice of blood donation and transfusion is life saving and in spite of extensive researches, an ideal blood substitute is yet to been found, therefore man will continue to depend on blood donated from fellow humans. The aim of the study is to assess public belief, attitude to and practices of voluntary non-remunerated blood donation among resident in Sokoto metropolis. This is a population-based descriptive cross-sectional study. Multistage sampling technique was applied to select the respondents. An interviewer-administered questionnaire was used to collect data. Skewed quantitative variables were summarised using median and inter-quartile range and categorical variables using frequencies and percentages. Chi square test of association and binary logistic regression analysis were performed. Results were presented in simple tables the result shows that the respondents' median age was 25 years, with interquartile range (IQR) of 21-29 years. Almost all (99%) reported that blood donation is not contrary to their religious belief, and it was described as a form of service to humanity by 98%. Although a large proportion (95%) expressed appropriate beliefs and attitude to non-remunerated blood donation, only 25% of the respondents had ever donated. Respondents' gender (X 2 = 26.96, df = 1, P <0.001), marital status (Fischer test=8.36, P <0.01) and employment status (Fischer exact=13.77, P <0.006) showed statistically significant relationship with blood donation practice, but none of these factors did predict practice of voluntary blood donation. In conclusion, although large proportion demonstrated appropriate belief and attitude to voluntary non-remunerated blood donation, few ever donated blood. There is need to sensitize general public on its benefit to improve practice among general public in the metropolis.

“…Donating blood voluntarily and without pay is a reflection of socio-ethical values (19). A secondary rationale is that volunteer, unpaid blood donors may be less susceptible to blood-transmissible infections than paid donors (20), although such differences are not always evident (21). International organisations advise member states to remain self-sufficient in blood and plasma products with the help of volunteer, unpaid donors (17), also to prevent the commercialisation of human tissue (22).…”

“…It is feared that remunerated donors might be with increased risk to transmit infectious diseases 3 . This knowledge established safe blood supply based on voluntary, non-remunerated donors in many countries across the world 4 . Voluntary and non-remunerated is one of the factors reducing the risk of transmitting the infections of donor origin 5 .…”

Summary Various scientific researches reveals that blood donated by non-remunerated blood donors is safer is many aspects. That is why identifying motivational factors affecting blood donation and recruitment of safe and low-risk donors is a challenge all around the world. Many researches were done in order to identify motivation for blood donating. But research do not study how motivation tools influence and affects motivation and retention of voluntary non-remunerated blood donors and there is a lack of scientific evidence how legislation regulation and different motivation tools applied really influence and affect motivation of voluntary, non-remunerated blood donors. Analysing the situation of blood donation in Lithuania and the experience of motivating donors could help find the connections between the decisions made and proven. The display of these connections is important because it could help to identify the most important factors for the improvement of an object researched as well as create possibilities to purposefully act, fulfil expedient intervention into the processes of legislation regulation and motivation of blood donors in order to seek to improve them and achieve better results in voluntary,
