This study examined whether the Theory of Planned Behavior adds significantly to the prediction of intention and actual blood donation of the general Israeli population.
In most developed countries and in Israel in particular there is a chronic shortage of blood for transfusions. This raises questions about methods of increasing blood donations.
This is a correlational quantitative study.
A questionnaire was created based on a review of the literature and the Theory of Planned Behavior. The questionnaire was distributed among a convenience sample of 190 Israeli Jewish men and women, aged 17-60.
Israelis' perceived behavioral control of their blood donations, their subjective norms and their attitude regarding blood donation, predicted their intention to donate blood. It seems that intention predicted actual blood donations. A conspicuous finding is that members of the Ethiopian Jewish community displayed an extremely limited intention to donate blood.
The results of this study show that a number of various educational and practical strategies may be used to encourage the population to donate blood. These include: reducing perceived barriers, directing interventions specifically at the population most likely to donate blood and forming a reserve of regular donors.
本研究旨在探讨计划行为理论是否能显著增强对以色列普通人群献血意愿及实际献血行为的预测能力。
在大多数发达国家，尤其是以色列，长期存在输血用血短缺的问题。这引发了关于增加献血量方法的诸多疑问。
这是一项相关性定量研究。
在对文献及计划行为理论进行综述的基础上设计了一份问卷。该问卷在190名年龄在17至60岁的以色列犹太男女的便利样本中进行发放。
以色列人对自身献血行为的感知行为控制、主观规范以及对献血的态度，预测了他们的献血意愿。似乎意愿能够预测实际献血行为。一个显著的发现是，埃塞俄比亚犹太社区成员的献血意愿极低。
本研究结果表明，可以采用多种不同的教育和实际策略来鼓励民众献血。这些策略包括：减少感知到的障碍、针对最有可能献血的人群进行特定干预以及建立定期献血者储备库。
