Health promotion articles about blood donation

I picked out the part about re-understanding blood donation in an article I wrote for your reference.

1. Re-understanding of voluntary blood donation is to consider the long-term effect of voluntary blood donation publicity and recruitment, update the understanding of voluntary blood donation, and promote its sustainable development, so as to publicize voluntary blood donation more scientifically in publicity and recruitment and gradually improve the public's understanding of voluntary blood donation.

At the beginning of the implementation of the People's Republic of China (PRC) Blood Donation Law, citizens basically didn't know about voluntary blood donation. In addition, there was a nutrition fee for blood donation before, and most of them voluntarily participated in blood donation, which caused some misunderstandings among ordinary citizens. The main reason is that blood donation is harmful to their health. Negative influence of nutrition fee on unpaid blood donation. At that stage, in order to dispel the concerns of the general public, the publicity of voluntary blood donation mainly focused on the "benefits" of blood donation, including: blood donation is good for health, blood can be used for free after blood donation, blood donation can be free, and so on. In this case, the understanding of the formation of unpaid blood donation is biased. Why do you say that? Let's discuss it in depth.

Is blood donation good for health? So far, the two views are still arguing. If we analyze them, we can see that this debate is actually unnecessary. Good health depends on a good living environment, a healthy lifestyle, an optimistic attitude and proper exercise. Blood donation is only done occasionally, not a part of daily life, and it has little effect on health, even if it is beneficial, it has little effect? This is self-evident. Blindly promoting "blood donation is good for health" is actually misleading. What effect does blood donation have on health? A more appropriate statement should be that blood donation does not harm health. Based on this understanding, how can we promote voluntary blood donation? This should start with the purpose of voluntary blood donation: when patients with hematological diseases urgently need blood to prolong their lives, when patients with excessive blood loss (such as bleeding mothers and patients with excessive blood loss during surgery) urgently need blood to protect their lives, a bag of blood donated by voluntary blood donors can give them a chance, and donating this bag of blood will not bring harm to voluntary blood donors. This kind of publicity can make the public understand the significance of voluntary blood donation, and at the same time dispel the concerns about its harm to health, which is more conducive to the sustainable development of voluntary blood donation.

It is true that you can use blood for free after donating blood for free, but how to correctly understand and understand it? In order to encourage citizens to actively participate in voluntary blood donation, the Blood Donation Law stipulates that voluntary blood donors and their immediate family members can be exempted from paying blood donation fees. Its legislative intention is to encourage blood donation without compensation, and it is not for the purpose of ownership (such as property rights and patents). However, in the past publicity, free blood use was often regarded as the focus of promoting the benefits of blood donation without compensation. The most common thing is to compare blood donation without compensation to a blood bank. Now it is "stored" and then "taken out" when necessary, which leads to the absurd idea that after the death of a blood donor, the heirs inherit the blood donation certificate and enjoy free use of blood. The reason why such an absurd request is made is to regard the "blood donation certificate" as the "passbook" of the blood bank. Since the blood used for free is the property of the blood bank, future generations naturally have the right to inherit. It is absurd to find out the basis. From then on, it is not difficult to see the consequences of improper understanding of free blood use.

The purpose of voluntary blood donation is to provide safe blood for clinical treatment, not to use blood for free. Too much emphasis on blood donation is to give up basics, especially in the publicity of blood donation, to avoid the view that blood donation is free to use blood in the future, especially the metaphor of blood bank can be rested.

Can blood donation be free? This view is actually wrong. There are seven blood tests. These tests are only for blood safety, far from reaching the standard of health examination. Moreover, the key to health consultation in the process of blood donation is the relevant forms filled out by the blood donors themselves, and the items contained in them are all promised and guaranteed by the blood donors themselves. How can it be considered a health check? In the past, in order to attract more citizens to participate in voluntary blood donation, it was very common to publicize that voluntary blood donation could be free. This kind of propaganda misleads unpaid blood donors, but it brings great hidden dangers.

Some people see the propaganda that blood donation can be free of charge, and they are worried that they can't find a place to check whether they are infected with some blood infectious diseases, so they participate in blood donation physical examination. After blood donation, the test results are normal, but some blood infectious diseases have a window period, during which antibodies can not be detected, but they are contagious. In the end, patients who lose this kind of blood will bear great risks and bring great problems to blood safety. This situation is very common at present. Some help-seeking websites often see anonymous inquiries: high-risk XX days, qualified blood donation, can you rule out HIV infection? This has sounded the alarm for our propaganda. The purpose of voluntary blood donation is to provide safe blood for clinical medical treatment, but our propaganda has brought unsafe factors. The fundamental reason is the misunderstanding of voluntary blood donation.

It can be seen that it is necessary to re-recognize voluntary blood donation. The purpose of voluntary blood donation is to provide safe blood for clinical medical treatment. Free blood donation is a kind of love dedication that can be completed without affecting health. Donating blood without compensation is a social responsibility. Only by taking this correct understanding as the basis of voluntary blood donation service can we play a greater role in promoting the development of voluntary blood donation. Undeniably, the utilitarian propaganda about voluntary blood donation in the past did promote the development of voluntary blood donation to some extent, which also led to these utilitarian concepts being deeply rooted in the minds of some voluntary blood donors. However, with the development of unpaid blood donation to today, the social environment has changed greatly, and the conditions for changing these outdated understandings have been met. As a volunteer blood donation service worker, we must first update our understanding. On the basis of raising awareness, we should vigorously publicize the concept of "blood donation to heal the wounded and rescue the dying and offer love" in the process of voluntary service, focus on the purpose of voluntary blood donation, and finally realize citizenization through a long-term subtle role.
