Area of Science:

  • Medical Education
  • Transfusion Medicine
  • Healthcare Quality Improvement

Background:

  • Optimal blood transfusion practices require extensive expertise across healthcare professions.
  • Assessing and enhancing healthcare personnel's knowledge is crucial for improving transfusion quality.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the baseline knowledge of healthcare personnel regarding blood transfusion procedures.
  • To implement targeted continuing education initiatives to enhance transfusion quality.
  • To assess the impact of training on knowledge levels and transfusion practices.

Main Methods:

  • An anonymous questionnaire was used to assess baseline knowledge, with the correct response rate (CRR) as the primary metric.
  • Blood transfusion education sessions were conducted, focusing on identified shortcomings.
  • Post-training questionnaires evaluated knowledge enhancement and participant satisfaction.

Main Results:

  • Baseline CRR was 33%, with significant deficits in pre- (22%) and post-transfusion (13%) phases. Nurses exhibited lower CRR (29%) compared to physicians (39%) and technicians (34%).
  • Post-training, CRR improved to 53% (p < 0.001), with notable gains across all transfusion phases and improved interpretation of clinical cases.
  • Participants reported high satisfaction (80%) with the training modules.

Conclusions:

  • Continuous knowledge evaluation is essential for identifying professional gaps in transfusion practices.
  • Well-targeted educational programs are effective in improving healthcare personnel's knowledge and ensuring transfusion safety.
  • The study highlights the need for ongoing professional development in transfusion medicine.
