Donor recruitment and retention are significant problems in blood collection agencies around the world. The Aim of this study was to determine the causes of lack of interest to blood donation in eligible individu-als in Mashhad, Northeast of Iran.
This was a descriptive study. Cases were 1130 non-donor individuals. Participants were selected from eligible individuals in different regions of Mashhad. In this study, surveys included information about age groups, gender, residence area, marriage, education; living situation and job as background variables.
Less than 30% of the cases had enough knowledge about blood donation. There was a significant rela-tionship between location, age, education, occupation and social status with knowledge of blood donation, but there was not a correlation between gender and marital status.
There are some factors which affect the decision for blood donation. There is a need to change the negative attitude by increasing the knowledge considering the individual and the social status.
献血者招募和保留是世界各地采血机构面临的重大问题。本研究的目的是确定伊朗东北部马什哈德符合条件的个体对献血缺乏兴趣的原因。
这是一项描述性研究。研究对象为1130名非献血个体。参与者从马什哈德不同地区符合条件的个体中选取。在本研究中，调查包括年龄组、性别、居住地区、婚姻状况、教育程度；生活状况和工作等背景变量信息。
不到30%的研究对象对献血有足够的了解。献血知识与地点、年龄、教育程度、职业和社会地位之间存在显著关系，但与性别和婚姻状况无关。
有一些因素会影响献血决策。需要考虑个体和社会地位，通过增加知识来改变消极态度。
