The Intention to Donate Blood: An Analysis of Socio-Demographic Determinants
Nur Zainie Abd Hamid, Rohaida Basiruddin, and Narehan Hassan
Abstract—The current trends of blood supply shortage have
raised the concern about the ability to meet the blood product
demand in the future. At the time of high demand for blood
products especially during festive seasons, Malaysia is unable to
encounter the demand. As a result, the quality of human life is
affected. This has created the prerequisite to understand the
scenario and recognizing the factors that may influence people’s
intention to donate blood. The purpose of this survey-based
study is to investigate the implication of socio-demographic
factors in measuring the intention of the public to involve in a
blood donation program specifically in Perlis population,
Malaysia. The findings indicated that, among the
socio-demographic factors, gender is predicted to have the
greatest association with intention to donate blood than others.
Besides, individuals who have blood donation experience in life
were more desired to do again their behavior in the future than
those who are not. The new discoveries generated are believed
to be valuable for future research as well as in designing future
blood donation program in order to encourage the participation
of the public.
