Abstract


Sikap yang positif terhadap aktiviti menderma darah berupaya mendorong seseorang untuk terlibat dengan aktviti berkenaan. Bagi individu yang bersikap positif, pendermaan darah dilihat sebagai tindakan yang baik, kurang berisiko malahan mudah untuk dilakukan. Individu dengan ciri-ciri berkenaan akan mempunyai niat yang kuat untuk melaksanakan aktiviti menderma darah. Kajian ini bertujuan meneroka hubungan antara sikap dan niat menderma darah bagi Penderma Darah Ulangan Berkala (PDUB) dan Penderma Darah Bersela (PDB). Kajian ini adalah berbentuk kuantitatif (kajian korelasi) yang menggunakan pendekatan survei secara pos untuk pengumpulan data. Data dikumpul daripada 1600 penderma darah yang dipilih secara rawak daripada rekod penderma di di Pusat Darah Negara (PDN), Kuala Lumpur. Jumlah responden bagi tujuan analisis melibatkan seramai 153 orang PDUB dan 130 PDB terlibat dalam kajian ini. Hasil kajian mendapati bahawa kedua-dua kumpulan PDUB dan PDB mempunyai sikap yang positif terhadap aktiviti menderma darah di mana aspek ini berkaitan dengan niat menderma darah. Kumpulan PDUB didapati mempunyai niat untuk menderma darah yang lebih kuat berbanding PDB. Hasil kajian memberikan implikasi bahawa sikap memainkan peranan yang penting terhadap niat menderma darah. Kumpulan PDB juga mempunyai potensi untuk didorong menjadi PDUB melalui pengukuhan kembali niat menderma darah agar mereka boleh melaksanakan aktiviti ini memandangkan mereka mempunyai sikap positif terhadap aktiviti berkenaan. Kajian akan datang disaran untuk mengkaji dengan lebih mendalam mengenai kaedah yang lebih sesuai untuk mengukuhkan dan mengekalkan niat menderma darah dalam kalangan penderma darah, terutama PDB.

Abstract


Positive attitude towards blood donation will enhance a person to engage in this activity. For individual with positive attitudes, blood donation will be seen as good, less risk and easy. Individuals that holds these positive criteria will have stronger intention to donate blood. This study aims to identify the relationship between attitude and intentions to donate blood among Regular Blood Donor (RBD) and Lapsed Blood Donor (LBD). This is a quantitative study (correlational study) that used postal survey approach. Data were randomly collected from 1600 blood donors based on donors’ record at the National Blood Center (PDN), Kuala Lumpur. A total of 153 RBDs and 130 LBDs were involved in this study. Findings showed that both groups have positive attitudes towards blood donation activities which in turn related to their intention to donate blood donation. However, RBDs was found to have stronger intention to donate blood as compared to LBDs. Result from this study implies that attitude plays an important role towards the intention to donate blood. Since LBDs in this study showed positive attitudes towards blood donation, therefore by strengtehing their intention, it could help to motivate them in executing the act. Future research should focus on identifying more appropriate methods for strengthening and retaining the intention to donate blood among blood donors, especially the LBDs.
