Gambaran Pengetahuan, Sikap, dan Motivasi Mengenai Donor Darah pada Kegiatan Hemoglobin AMSA-UPR

Introduction

Gambaran pengetahuan, sikap, dan motivasi mengenai donor darah pada kegiatan hemoglobin amsa-upr. Gambaran pengetahuan, sikap, dan motivasi donor darah sukarela di SMAN 5 Palangka Raya. Mayoritas remaja menunjukkan pengetahuan baik, sikap positif, dan motivasi menolong sesama, mendukung keberlanjutan donor.

Abstract

Ketersediaan darah di Unit Donor Darah sangat bergantung pada partisipasi donor darah sukarela, di mana pengetahuan, sikap, dan motivasi menjadi faktor penting untuk menjamin ketersediaan yang cukup. Pengabdian ini bertujuan untuk menggambarkan tingkat pengetahuan, sikap, dan motivasi mengenai donor darah pada pendonor sukarela di SMAN 5 Palangka Raya pada tahun 2024. Desain kegiatan pengabdian ini bersifat deskriptif dengan pendekatan cross-sectional, melibatkan 51 peserta yang dipilih menggunakan teknik consecutive sampling. Data diperoleh melalui penyebaran kuesioner kepada peserta kegiatan dan dianalisis secara deskriptif untuk menggambarkan hasil pelaksanaan. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa donor darah sukarela didominasi oleh kelompok usia 14-15 tahun (45,1%), mayoritas berjenis kelamin perempuan (58,8%), dan merupakan siswa kelas 1 SMA (45,1%). Tingkat pengetahuan responden tentang donor darah tergolong baik (76,5%), dengan media elektronik sebagai sumber informasi utama. Sebanyak 96,1% responden menunjukkan sikap positif terhadap donor darah, dengan alasan utama menolong sesama (92,2%). Kesimpulan dari penulisan ini menunjukkan bahwa pendonor darah sukarela di SMAN 5 Palangka Raya memiliki tingkat pengetahuan, sikap, dan motivasi yang baik dalam mendukung kegiatan donor darah. Hal ini menunjukkan adanya potensi keberlanjutan dan partisipasi positif dalam kegiatan donor darah di kalangan remaja.

Review

This descriptive study, "Gambaran Pengetahuan, Sikap, dan Motivasi Mengenai Donor Darah pada Kegiatan Hemoglobin AMSA-UPR," effectively addresses a critical area of public health: ensuring the sustainable availability of blood through voluntary donations, especially among youth. The research clearly aims to characterize the knowledge, attitude, and motivation (KAM) towards blood donation among participants at SMAN 5 Palangka Raya. Utilizing a cross-sectional approach with 51 participants, the study provides a concise snapshot of key demographic profiles and, importantly, highlights predominantly good knowledge, positive attitudes, and strong motivation rooted in altruism. The findings offer valuable insights into the potential for fostering a strong culture of blood donation among high school students. The strengths of this study lie in its clear objective and the relevance of its findings. By focusing on high school students, the research identifies a crucial demographic for future blood donor recruitment. The consistently high scores for knowledge (76.5% good), attitude (96.1% positive), and motivation (92.2% driven by helping others) are particularly encouraging. Furthermore, the identification of electronic media as the primary source of information provides actionable intelligence for designing targeted awareness campaigns. These positive indicators strongly suggest that ongoing engagement and educational initiatives within this age group could significantly contribute to the long-term sustainability and growth of voluntary blood donation programs. While providing valuable insights, the study's descriptive, cross-sectional design and limited sample size (N=51) inherently restrict the generalizability of its findings beyond the immediate participant group. It offers a snapshot but does not delve into the underlying factors that *cause* these positive KAM levels, nor does it track actual donation behavior over time. It would also be beneficial for future research to explicitly clarify whether the "pendonor sukarela" (voluntary donors) referred to were *actual prior blood donors* or simply participants in the activity expressing willingness, as this distinction can influence the interpretation of "motivation." Expanding the scope to include a larger, more diverse sample, or incorporating a longitudinal design, would significantly enhance the understanding of how to cultivate and sustain a robust donor base among Indonesian youth.
