Abstract

Introduction: Blood Donation is a major concern in the society as the safe human blood saves many lives at various medical and surgical illnesses. The concept of safe blood is currently stressed since deadly complications of transfusion transmitted infections are commonly encountered in paid and replacement donors. According to WHO, source of safe blood is procured from voluntary non remunerated blood donors. Hence healthy, active and receptive huge student population can be potential blood donors. Paramedical students by virtue of their technical exposure and clinicial knowledge in medical field constitute a right group to donate, educate and motivate others for voluntary blood donation. Aims and objectives: 1. To assess the knowledge, attitude and practice of blood donation. 2. To understand the role of educational intervention regarding voluntary blood donation among paramedical students. Materials and methods: A descriptive analytical study is conducted in the department of pathology of a government medical college. Fifty paramedical students were randomly selected for the study. All the students were asked to fill the prepared simple questionnaire regarding VBD. After this a powerpoint presentation is delivered to the students regarding the knowledge, attitude, practice and awareness of VBD. Results obtained after pre- and post-test are tabulated, analyzed using appropriate statistical methods and discussed.
