- A study was conducted among 218 health care workers at Wolaita Sodo University Teaching and Referral Hospital in Ethiopia to evaluate their knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) regarding blood donation.
- Results showed that while 82.6% had good knowledge about blood donation, only 58.7% had a positive attitude and just 21.6% reported donating blood in their lifetime.
- The findings indicated that males were more likely to donate blood than females, and a significant number of participants hadn’t donated blood because they were never asked to do so.
