Description
Miswan and six co-authors report a study from twenty twenty-six on what drives regular blood donation in Malaysia. Steady donors keep blood programs strong, so their traits matter. The team surveyed two hundred sixty-two donors at a university medical center. About three in four were regular donors. The survey probed mind, knowledge, access, and social factors. Math checks then weighed which factors predict regular giving on their own.
Married donors gave regularly more often than single donors. Higher schooling linked, oddly, to less regular giving in this sample. Strong altruism and drive were the top boosts to regular giving. Poor knowledge of the process and bad past visits cut regular giving sharply. The authors urge programs to target single and highly schooled adults.
