Abstract

Objectives: to assess the effectiveness of a Learning-Care Project (LC) conducted by Nursing students, on acquiring knowledge, attitudes and values towards blood donation in Compulsory Secondary Education (ESO) students. Method: quasi-experimental before-after study on 31 Nursing students who had received training on blood donation, and 171 Compulsory Secondary Education students. A briefing with audiovisual support on blood donation, for small groups. Ad hoc questionnaires were designed to assess the intervention. In order to conduct the before-after comparisons (after the intervention and at three months), Student’s t test was used for paired samples. Results: at the end of the intervention, 88.8% of Nursing students reported an increase in their knowledge about blood donation. 80.7% of ESO students reported a higher awareness about the importance of being a blood donor, and an increase in their knowledge about this matter; the knowledge acquired by ESO students remained stable three months after the intervention (p< 0.05). Conclusions: the results obtained show an increase in knowledge and a higher positiveness in beliefs and values of both student groups regarding blood donation. Leaning-care can be a recommended educational strategy in Nursing training. For this aim, teachers must be able to explore the training needs and preferences of their pupils, and to link them with community needs.
