Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify factors influencing in intention and execution of blood donation among nursing college students. Methods: A total of 241 nursing students in D city participated in this cross-sectional study. Participants completed a questionnaire regarding intention, execution, knowledge, and motivation of and attitude toward blood donation. Data were analyzed with t-tests, $x^2$ test, Pearson correlation coefficients, and linear and logistic regression. Results: There were significant correlations among intention and motivation of blood donation attitudes toward donation, and altruism. The results of regression analyses, intention of blood donation ($R^2=.14$) was significantly associated with motivation. In addition, execution of blood donation was significantly associated with knowledge (Odds Ratio [OR]=2.24, 95% CI 1.13~4.44, p=.021), motivation (OR=2.25, 95% CI 1.03~4.88, p=.041), and intention (OR=2.41, 95% CI 1.20~4.84, p=.013) of blood donation. Conclusion: Therefore, the knowledge, motivation, and intention of blood donation should be considered to encourage blood donation programs for college students.
