Abstract
- PURPOSE
The purpose of this study was to investigate the factors influencing intentions regarding blood donation among nursing university students.
METHODS
We collected data from 165 nursing students at a university in D city via a self-administered questionnaire from May 28 to May 30, 2018.
RESULTS
Intentions of blood donation had significant positive correlations with blood donation motivation (r=.52, p < .001). Also, blood donation motivation had significant positive correlations with self-identity (r=.27, p=.013). A regression analysis showed that factors affecting intention of blood donation were intrinsic motivation for blood donation (β=.30, p=.028), and extrinsic motivation for blood donation (β=.32, p=.013). These factors explained 25% of intentions of blood donation (F=8.06, p < .001).
CONCLUSION
Therefore, motivation and self-identity should be considered when developing blood donation programs for nursing college students.
