Abstract

Objective: Selecting the appropriate donor is important to protect the health of the recipient and the donor. However, temporary deferral blood in this process is one of the reasons for lowering blood donation rates. It was aimed to evaluate the effect of two different attempts on the donation of blood donors after temporary deferrals.
Materials and Meyhods: The single-blind, randomized controlled trial was conducted in Mersin, between the dates of 16.10.2017-31.10.2018 with 366 people. The subjects were randomly divided into three groups of telephone, message and control. Blood donati-ons at 1, 3 and 6. months were evaluated in telephone, message and control group.
Results: 70.8% of the deferral donors were male and 37.9% were primary and lower education. The most common reason for defer-ral was low level of hemoglobin. The duration of deferral ranged from 8 hours to 27 days and the median was 6 days (2-9 days). There were no differences between the groups (p>0.05).
Conclusion: It was seen that the low cost applications and the reminder made by telephone provided an increase in blood dona-tion even though not statistically significant. In order to increase the donor gain in the future, it is recommended to conduct a larger sample survey using different phone calls and message contents via changing age groups and gender.

Kısa Süreli Kan Bağışı Retlerinde Telefon ve Mesajla Yapılan Hatırlatmanın Bağışçı Kazanımına Etkisi: Randomize Kontrollü Deneysel Çalışma

Abstract

Amaç: Uygun donör seçimi alıcının ve vericinin sağlığının ko-runması yönüyle önemlidir. Ancak bu süreçte geçici retler kan bağışı oranlarını düşüren nedenlerdendir. Araştırma iki farklı girişimle yapılan hatırlatmanın geçici ret sonrası kan bağışçısı kazanımına etkisini değerlendirmek amacıyla yapılmıştır.
Materyal ve Metod: Tek kör, randomize kontrollü deneysel araş-tırma olarak planlanan çalışma, Mersin’de 16.10.2017-31.10.2018 tarihlerinde kısa süreli ret verilen 366 kişiyle gerçekleştirilmiştir. Randomizasyonla belirlenen telefon, mesaj ve kontrol gruplarında girişim sonrası 1, 3 ve 6. aylarda yapılan kan bağışları değerlendi-rilmiştir.
Bulgular: Kısa süreli reddedilen bağışçıların %70,8’i erkek, %37,9’u ilköğretim ve altı eğitime sahiptir. Geçici retlerin en yay-gın sebebi hemoglobin düzeyi düşüklüğüdür. Ret süreleri 8 saat ile 27 gün arasında değişmekte olup ortancası 6 gündür (2-9 gün). Kan bağışı için geri dönüşler, telefonla hatırlatmada %37,8, mesajla hatırlatmada %33,3, kontrol grubunda %29,5 olup, istatistiksel olarak gruplar arasında fark yoktur (p>0,05).
Sonuç: Düşük maliyetli uygulamalar olarak mesajla ve telefonla yapılan hatırlatmanın istatistiksel olarak önemli olmasa da kan bağışında artış sağladığı görülmüştür. Gelecekte donör kazanımını arttırmak amacıyla, yaş gruplarına ve cinsiyete gore değişen içerik-te telefon konuşması ve mesaj içeriklerinin kullanıldığı daha geniş örneklemli araştırmaların yapılması önerilir.
