Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To assess the knowledge of Philadelphia University students regarding blood donation. BACKGROUND: Saving lives could be the ultimate humanitarian gift. Blood transfusion is an essential part of any national health service for optimal management of emergency situations. METHODS/MATERIALS: A non-experimental, cross-sectional survey was used. A well-structured, validated questionnaire was used to assess the knowledge of 770 Jordanian university students about voluntary blood donation, and t-test was used to compare the difference between two means. RESULTS: The total number of participants was 696, from 770 students invited to participate in this survey, a response rate of 90.4%. The female students had a higher knowledge score (57.28%) than the male students (54.12%), but this was not found to be statistically significant. CONCLUSION: The findings of this study revealed that the university students' awareness about blood donation was poor and needed to be improved. Furthermore, the need for education programs and motivational campaigns should be enhanced.
