Overview
The possibilities of hemotherapy depend on the quality of blood donors active in blood donation. Theauthors via a voluntary anonymous questionnaire of blood donors during the first half year of 2002followed blood donor opinions on blood giving in the Transfusiology department in Bratislava. 461donors were evaluated. The average age of the donors was 32.25 years, 1/3 women and 2/3 men. Theresults demonstrate that the donor registry consists of 60 % donors with high school and universityeducation. 50 % of these wanted to give blood on their own, family and friend recruited 38 %, only 6,8 %were recruited by Red Cross, but only 1,6 % were persuaded by doctors. 2/3 donors donate bloodregularly which corresponds with the number of donors who complete their knowledge about blooddonation. Majority of the donors is satisfied with the niveau of care of our departement. Currentquestioning of blood donors may improve care of transfusion departements and can help to keep theinterest of blood donors in further donations.
