Introduction: Past studies pay little attention to the intention to donate hematopoietic stem cells (HSC) among blood donors. This study investigated the level of and the influence of socio-demographic characteristics, knowledge, attitude, subjective norm and self-efficacy on the intention to donate HSC among blood donors. Methods: This cross-sectional study recruited blood donors at selected public hospitals in the Malaysian State of Sarawak in 2019. A structured questionnaire was developed based on the review of relevant literature. It gathered information on socio-demographic characteristics, knowledge, attitude, subjective norm and self-efficacy on the intention to donate HSC. Variables with a p value #x3c;0.200 in bivariate analysis were included in the variable selection for regression modeling to examine their associations with the intention to donate HSC. Results: A total of 569 blood donors participated (94.5% response rate). Overall, 87.1% reported a positive intention to donate HSC. In the regression model, the factor with the greatest association with intention to donate HSC was subjective norms about HSC donation (β = 0.35, 95% CI 0.27–0.42), followed by attitude about regulations of HSC donation (β= 0.21, 95% CI 0.13–0.35), self-efficacy on HSC donation (β = 0.15, 95% CI 0.09–0.32), attitude about the potential side effects of HSC donation (β = 0.14, 95% CI 0.02–0.10) and highest education level (β = 0.10, 95% CI 0.03–0.44). Conclusions: The findings can be used to formulate a better strategy in promoting HSC donation among blood donors in the region.

与献血者捐献造血干细胞相关的因素

简介：过去的研究很少关注在献血者中捐献造血干细胞（HSC）的意图。这项研究调查了社会人口统计学特征，知识，态度，主观规范和自我效能水平对献血者捐献HSC的意图及其影响。方法：这项横断面研究于2019年在马来西亚砂拉越州的部分公立医院招募了献血者。在相关文献的基础上，开发了结构化问卷。它收集了有关社会人口学特征，知识，态度，主观规范和自我效能的信息，以用于捐赠HSC。带p的变量变量选择中包括了双变量分析中的值＃x3c; 0.200，以进行回归建模，以检查它们与捐赠HSC的关联。结果：共有569名献血者参与（94.5％的回应率）。总体而言，有87.1％的人表示愿意捐赠HSC。在回归模型中，与捐赠HSC意图相关性最大的因素是关于HSC捐赠的主观规范（β= 0.35，95％CI 0.27–0.42），其次是对HSC捐赠法规的态度（β= 0.21，95％ CI 0.13–0.35），对HSC捐赠的自我效能感（β= 0.15，95％CI 0.09–0.32），对HSC捐赠的潜在副作用的态度（β= 0.14，95％CI 0.02–0.10）和最高学历（β= 0.10，95％CI 0.03–0.44）。结论：这些发现可以用来制定一个更好的策略来促进该地区献血者的HSC捐赠。
