June 14th is the World Blood Donor Day, and this year, the theme is “Give blood to others and share life.” In order to respond to this meaningful day, our team members decided to do some voluntary activities at the local blood donation bus. Our main job was to help the nurses and donors, like teaching the donors how to fill in the form, recording the donor’s information in the computer and putting the blood bags in the fridge, etc. Although the weather was really hot that day, there were still many people appeared at the blood donation bus. Some of them said that it was not their first time to do this, and some people keep joining the blood donation every year. From our voluntary activity, we learned that some detections must be performed before the donation, including the blood type, hemoglobin quantity, ALT detection, markers of HBV and Treponema pallidum. In order to deeply understand the blood donation, we also did other activities.

Here are the results of our questionnaires. I just picked three typical questions. The first question is about the items the blood sample must be tested before use. We can see in the diagram: only 28.4% of the people know about it, 14.8% don’t know and most people just heard about it before, but not clear enough. The second question is about the window period: more than half of the people don’t know about it. And according to the third question, is about the benefits of blood donation. Only 46.5% of the people know the advantages of blood donation.

<p>In order to deeply understand how the blood being processed from the donors to the hospitals, our team visited the Blood Center Of Shandong province. We were shown around the building and laboratories. The labs there use negative pressure to keep the environment safe and clean. And some detections can achieve automation, which can prevent some man-made operation.  Therefore, pollution can be reduced. The automated equipment are very convenient, not only can save much more time but also can keep the tests into a sterile environment. So，the tests can be more accurate. All the processes of testing are traceable. Each blood sample has a barcode, which can correspond to the donor, the data of each step must be recorded, and stored in the system. This makes the blood use traceable for the source of the problem.

After the visit, our team members had an interview with the professor. We also understand the detections taken in the blood center. There are five main detections: markers of HIV, HBV, HCV, Treponema pallidum and ALT dection.

June 14th is the World Blood Donor Day, the theme in 2018 is “Give blood to others and share life.” In order to response to this meaningful day, our team members decided to take place in some voluntary activities, so we chose to go to the local blood donation bus just near the Quancheng Square in Shandong Province.

We went there on that day. Although there are many people on the square, there were only few people in the blood donation bus. After asked the staffs working there, we started to work. Our job was simple, just taught the donors how to fill the form before donation, recorded the donor’s information in the computer and put the blood bags in the fridge, etc.

Not only we helped a lot, but also learnt that there are some detections must be performed before the blood donation. They are as follow:

  • Blood type of the donor
  • Hemoglobin quantity
  • ALT detection
  • Markers of HBV and Treponema pallidum

These detections are really important, if one of these items is not qualified, the donor cannot take part in the blood donation. And these detections are just a primary detection, the blood need to be sent to the blood center to perform further detections.

But now the question is there is a problem called “window period”, and the detections taken in blood center cannot detect the varies like HCV, HIV in the window period, which is very dangerous. So, we decided the method to find the way to shorten the window period as our project.

Our team members went to the blood donation bus again at summer holiday and we also acquired some questionnaires regarding the knowledge of blood donation. It was upset that there were still a few people at the bus during the holiday. We went to the local book store near the square and science museum to give out the questionnaires.
