The establishment and application of anemergency recruitment strategy for blood donors in Shenzhen under public health emergencies
Objective To establish and improve the emergency recruitment strategy of voluntary blood donors under public health emergencies in Shenzhen and verify its effectiveness.Methods Blood donor recruitment strategies under rou-tine,emergency and combined situation were developed.The blood collection data from 2017 to 2019 before the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic was used as the control group,and those from 2020 to 2022 after the outbreak was used as the experi-mental group,and the feasibility and effectiveness of this emergency recruitment strategy was confirmed through statistical a-nalysis of key indicators of blood collection and supply.Results Through the application of the emergency recruitment strat-egy for blood donors in Shenzhen under public health emergencies,statistical analysis of the experimental group and the con-trol group showed a year-on-year increase of 14.11%(73 647.25/521 855.5)in whole blood collection,42.33%(28 891.47/68 250.95)in platelet collection,0.33%(529/161 033)in first-time donors,33.25%(3 154/9 487)in re-peated donors and 16.78%(32 585/194 149)in the number of 400 mL donors.The inventory of various types of red blood cell maintained between 6-18 days.After the implementation of the emergency recruitment strategy the blood donation popu-lation has shown characteristics as younger age,localization,increased repeated donation and a higher proportion of donors with college education or above.Conclusion The emergency recruitment strategy of blood donors under public health emer-gencies is feasible and effective,which can quickly and efficiently improve the blood recruitment ability.
