Blood in Australia is sourced through voluntary, non-remunerated donations. With periodic shortages in supply, increasing demand for blood products and a donor base that is perceived to be unsustainable, remuneration has been proposed as a means to improve donation rates.
To examine community attitudes to remunerated blood donation in Australia.
A national random telephone survey of Australian adults age 18-70 was conducted (n = 1024). Associations were tested using a chi-square (χ(2)) test for linear distribution.
Reimbursement for the cost of travel to donate blood was supported by more respondents (46%) than reimbursement for time (19%). Non-donors were more likely to support a payment compared to donors (P = 0.002). Twelve per cent of respondents thought they would be more likely to donate if remunerated while 10% thought they would be less likely. The majority (76%) thought that a payment would not change whether or not they would donate, while 85% thought that it would make other people more likely to donate. The average amount considered to be reasonable reimbursement was AU$30.
Despite the common perception that other people would be motivated to donate blood with the introduction of a financial incentive, remuneration may provide minimal incentive in Australia and is unlikely to increase donor participation for the time being.
澳大利亚的血液来源是自愿无偿献血。由于供应周期性短缺、血液制品需求不断增加以及献血者群体被认为不可持续，有人提议给予报酬以提高献血率。
研究澳大利亚社区对有偿献血的态度。
对18 - 70岁的澳大利亚成年人进行了全国随机电话调查（n = 1024）。使用卡方（χ(2)）检验线性分布来测试相关性。
支持报销献血交通费用的受访者（46%）多于支持报销时间费用的受访者（19%）。与献血者相比，非献血者更有可能支持给予报酬（P = 0.002）。12%的受访者认为如果给予报酬他们更有可能献血，而10%的受访者认为他们可能性更小。大多数（76%）受访者认为给予报酬不会改变他们是否献血的决定，而85%的受访者认为这会使其他人更有可能献血。认为合理报销金额平均为30澳元。
尽管普遍认为引入经济激励会促使其他人献血，但在澳大利亚，报酬可能只能提供极小的激励，并且目前不太可能增加献血者参与度。
