Abstract:
【Objective】 To discuss the influence of direct reimbursement of blood expenses in hospitals on the recruitment of blood donors in Xianyang City. 【Methods】 Blood donors or reimbursers, who reimbursed blood expenses either at hospitals or at our blood center were investigated, and these two kinds of blood expense reimbursements were compared in terms of convenience, the impact on the enthusiasm of blood donation, as well as the impact of the awareness of hospital reimbursement on the recruitment of blood donors. 【Results】 The direct reimbursement of blood expenses at hospitals took 22 minutes per person, without any round trips nor transportation costs. The rate of satisfaction, long-term intention to blood donation, and voluntary mobilization of others were 98.11%, 91.89%, and 82.56%, respectively, higher than those in the reimbursers at blood station(P<0.01). 35.16%, 38.90%, 98.56%, 94.24% and 93.37% of the blood donors, who were aware of benefits of hospital reimbursement, had donated for 2~3 times, donated more than 3 times, satisfied with the way of reimbursement, intended to redonate and mobilize others, which were higher than those who were unaware of the the hospital reimbursement(P<0.05). 【Conclusion】 Direct reimbursement of blood expenses at hospitals not only improved the convenience, but also increased the enthusiasm of blood donors by improving their satisfaction, which was conductive to blood donation recruitment.
