Area Of Science
- Public Health
- Transfusion Medicine
- Quality Management
Background
- Assessing blood donation drive quality is crucial for blood safety.
- No validated tools currently exist for evaluating Outdoor Blood Donation Drives (OBDD).
Purpose Of The Study
- To develop and validate a quality assessment tool for OBDD in India.
- To establish a reliable method for evaluating the quality of outdoor blood donation activities.
Main Methods
- A 30-item questionnaire was developed and validated using psychometric tests.
- Internal consistency was assessed using Cronbach's alpha.
- Factor analysis was employed to develop a refined 15-item tool.
Main Results
- The 30-item tool showed high content validity (mean I-CVI: 0.93) and reliability (Cronbach's alpha: 0.89).
- A significant percentage of assessed drives scored Grade B (67%) and Grade C (17%).
- A 15-item tool with good internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha: 0.80) was also developed.
Conclusions
- A valid and reliable 30-item and 15-item quality assessment tool for OBDD was successfully developed.
- These tools can be adapted globally to enhance the quality and safety of outdoor blood donation drives.
