Evaluation of the knowledge, attitude, and behavioral characteristics of medical students regarding blood donation
It was determined that medical students exhibited a considerable lack of knowledge about BD. Training was shown to have a positive impact on their knowledge levels regarding BD. Furthermore, students expressed concerns and demonstrated insufficient understanding of the risk of COVID-19 transmission during BD. Providing up-to-date training on this topic is crucial to addressing these misconceptions and enhancing their knowledge.
