| Summary: | This study is conducted to compare the level of knowledge, attitude,
and practice level of blood donation between male and female students
in diploma programs in UTHM Pagoh. In this study, the significance
difference of knowledge, attitude and practices of blood donation based
on gender was also determined. Apart from that, the purpose of this
study is to determine the relationship between knowledge, attitude,
and practice level of blood donation among diploma students in UTHM.
A cross-sectional survey was distributed to 200 diploma students in
UTHM Pagoh which consists of seven courses: Diploma in Applied
Science, Diploma in Chemical Engineering Technology, Diploma in
Electrical Engineering, Diploma in Civil Engineering, Diploma in
Mechanical Engineering, Diploma in Information Technology and
Diploma in Animation Technology using a Google Form questionnaire.
Data collected was analysed by using Statistical Package for Social
Sciences (SPSS) version 27. The result shows that female students have
more knowledge, attitude, and practice level of blood donation than
male students. Based on gender, there were no significant difference in
terms of knowledge, attitude and practices of blood donation among
UTHM diploma students. Most of female and male of diploma students
have a basic knowledge but poor attitude toward blood donation.
Moreover, they might have a basic knowledge regarding blood donation
but did not apply them in real life. They may have good attitude toward
blood donation, but they do not practice the proper way of blood
donation. Further research needs to be conducted to find effective ways
to spread awareness about the blood donation. It can increase the level
of knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) towards blood donation
among diploma UTHM students. |
