| Summary: | This is a qualitative study examining the socio-cultural
perception toward blood donation practice among young
blood donors. Understanding blood donation practice and
its underlying socio-cultural perceptions among the
younger population is crucial to the functioning of the
health system. This is to ensure blood supply is adequate to
address the health needs of the population. To address the
issue, nine (9) young blood donor aged between 21 and 24
years old were approached during a blood donation drive
held at the International Islamic University Malaysia. These
young blood donors were selected through a convenient
sampling technique. Guided by a semi-structured interview
schedule, face-to-face interviews were conducted on
campus to capture informants’ perceptions toward blood
donation practice. Thematic analysis technique was used to
analyse data obtained from the study. It was found that
young blood donors in this study perceive blood donation
practice as a good thing to do to help others. This includes
perceiving blood donation practice as moral and social
responsibilities. |
