Description

[Background]Medical professionals should have sufficient knowledge and training in transfusion practice. In particular, nurses play an important role in safe transfusion therapies. It is important for nurses to develop and maintain their knowledge of transfusion practice in order to ensure transfusion safety.<br> [Purpose and Methods]The Aomori Prefecture Joint Committee of Transfusion Practices conducted a questionnaire survey of nurses concerning their awareness and knowledge of blood transfusion. A total of 182 nurses at Aomori Prefectural Central Hospital, Kuroishi General Hospital, and Hirosaki University Hospital participated.<br> [Results]1. Knowledge of blood transfusion: 135 nurses (75%) had negative images or were reluctant to manage blood transfusion. 2. Knowledge of transfusion practices: 111 nurses (61%) answered correctly the initial speed of blood transfusion (1ml/min). 16% answered incorrectly about RhD-type mismatched red cell transfusion, and 69% answered incorrectly about ABO-type major mismatched red cell transfusion.<br> Against our expectations, this survey revealed that knowledge of transfusion practices at the three major hospitals in Aomori Prefecture was insufficient. Some nurses were managing blood transfusion despite frank uncertainty about it. The respondents also expressed their desire to learn more about transfusion practices. In conclusion, improving the level of knowledge of transfusion practices among nurses is critical to the safety of transfusion therapies.<br>
