The demand for blood and blood products are increasing in all part of the globe, especially in the developing nations. However, there is limited information on the level of blood donation practice and their related factors. Therefore, assessing the level of blood donation practice and its determinant factors among health professionals have a paramount importance in designing an effective strategy for sustaining adequate and safe blood provision in the hospitals.
Out of 556 health professionals, 266 (47.8%) had ever donated blood in their life time. Age above 30 years (AOR = 2.756 95% CI 1.055-7.197), married health professionals (AOR = 1.729 95% CI 1.091-2.739), health professionals' knowledge of blood donation (AOR = 3.403 95% CI 2.296-5.044), health professionals' attitude towards blood donation (AOR = 3.41 95% CI 2.320-5.041) and health professionals who attend degree education (AOR = 0.315 95% CI 0.104-0.950) were significantly associated with blood donation behavior of health professionals. The magnitude of blood donation practice was found low. Therefore, the Ethiopian Red Cross Society and ministry of health should continue increasing the attitude and knowledge of health professionals toward blood donation practices are the key avenues interventions.
全球各地对血液及血液制品的需求都在增加，尤其是在发展中国家。然而，关于献血行为水平及其相关因素的信息有限。因此，评估卫生专业人员的献血行为水平及其决定因素对于制定一项在医院维持充足和安全血液供应的有效策略至关重要。
在556名卫生专业人员中，有266人（47.8%）在其一生中曾献过血。30岁以上的年龄（调整后比值比[AOR]=2.756，95%置信区间[CI]为1.055 - 7.197）、已婚卫生专业人员（AOR = 1.729，95% CI为1.091 - 2.739）、卫生专业人员对献血的了解（AOR = 3.403，95% CI为2.296 - 5.044）、卫生专业人员对献血的态度（AOR = 3.41，95% CI为2.320 - 5.041）以及接受学位教育的卫生专业人员（AOR = 0.315，95% CI为0.104 - 0.950）与卫生专业人员的献血行为显著相关。发现献血行为的程度较低。因此，埃塞俄比亚红十字会和卫生部应继续提高卫生专业人员对献血行为的态度和认识，这是关键的干预途径。
