  Abstract

 Background and Objectives

  To ensure safe and adequate blood supply to meet patients' needs is the main goal of blood centers. To this end, regular blood donors play an important role especially recruitment of female teachers and students is very significant. In this study, we aimed to study reasons why females as compared with males are less motivated to embark on blood donation.

  

 Materials and Methods

 This survey was a cross-sectional research. A questionnaire was used to gather data on the knowledge and attitude of 280 female teachers and 280 female students about blood donation . SPSS statistical software was used for data analysis.

  

 Results

 The age average of students and teachers were 17/9±1/39 and 33.7±6.74 respectively. 10% of female students and 21% of female teachers had the experience of blood donation. The main positive motivation for blood donation in both groups came out of altruistic causes. 35% of students and 21% of teachers were afraid of blood donation, 40% of students and 57% of teachers were afraid of anemia, and finally 32.2% of students and 17% of teachers were not allowed by their parents and hubands to donate blood.

 

 Conclusions

 In this study , three main negative motivation causes for females to embark on blood donation came out to be fear of donation, fear of getting anemia, and lack of permission by their parents and husbands.
