Applying trans-theoretical model for blood donation among Spanish adults: a cross-sectional study
BMC Public Health, 2019•Springer
Background Relying solely on altruistic appeals may fail to fulfil the increasing demand for
blood supplies. Current research has largely been attempted to determine and understand
motives that serve as blood donation drivers. The Trans-Theoretical Model of behaviour
change (TTM) can be used to conceptualise the process of intentional blood donation

Background
Relying solely on altruistic appeals may fail to fulfil the increasing demand for blood supplies. Current research has largely been attempted to determine and understand motives that serve as blood donation drivers. The Trans-Theoretical Model of behaviour change (TTM) can be used to conceptualise the process of intentional blood donation behaviour.
Methods
A cross sectional survey of Spanish adults was conducted. The final sample consisted of 504 individuals who were administered a self-report questionnaire including the measures of demographic characteristics, Stages of Change, Processes of Change, Self-efficacy and Decisional Balance. Data were analysed by frequency analysis, MANOVA/ANOVA and correlation analysis.
Results
Findings indicated that most of the behavioural and cognitive processes of change, self-efficacy and physical cons differentiated participants across the stages of change of blood donation. In contrast, eligibility cons and pros were less influential in stage transitions. Furthermore, significant correlations were observed between TTM constructs except for the physical cons and the processes of change.
Conclusions
The present study extensively supports and replicates the applicability of the TTM to blood donation behaviour change and offers important implications for the development of effective stage-matched interventions to increase blood donation.
