dc.description.abstract | Aim To examine the effectiveness of training activities on knowledge and attitude with regard to blood donation among health sciences students. Subject and methods The semi-experimental study was carried out with 258 1st-year health sciences students. Data were collected using an 'information form' and the 'Attitude Scale For Blood Donation'. Two nurses from the Turkish Red Crescent provided blood donation training to the students. Then, blood donation activity was organized at a blood donation booth set up in the faculty. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, the Wilcoxon test, the Mann-Whitney U test, and the Kruskal-Wallis test. Results Training affects the level of knowledge and attitude scores of the students toward blood donation (p < 0.05). However, at the end of the training, the number of students who participated in the blood donation activity was very low (12 students). It was determined that training was not effective in developing an attitude in a short time. Conclusion It was found that youth training activities were an effective method to increase students' knowledge and attitude scores with regard to blood donation. Although the attitude scores of the students increased, it can be seen that there was no increase in the number of voluntary donors. Therefore, it is recommended that training and youth activities should be organized regularly. | en_US |
