Knowledge and Attitude of Malaysian Public Towards Blood Donation During COVID-19 Pandemic: A Cross-Sectional Study
Most of the participants in this study showed a good knowledge and positive attitude towards blood donation. Gender, age, income and donation experience were the main associated factors. Based on these findings, future recruitment approaches for blood donors should target these identified groups, whereas promotional campaigns should be held among populations with poorer knowledge and attitudes towards blood donation, i.e., males, non-donors, younger populations and those with lower income.
