Abstract
Introduction: The availability of blood is highly dependent on blood donors. According to the WHO, 100% of blood fulfillment should come from voluntary donors. From blood donation data for 2016, the distribution of blood donors based on rhesus blood type shows that negative rhesus is a rare blood type, only 0.1% of total blood donations in Indonesia. Approximately 1.2% of Indonesia's population has negative rhesus blood type. Therefore, every blood collecting center must have negative rhesus donor data that can be called up at any time if needed. Tangerang City is one of the blood-collecting centers that is responsible for fulfilling the need for blood products. This research aims to identify the percentage of negative rhesus blood donors in the entire blood donor population at the Tangerang City blood collecting center.
Methods: The type of research used is descriptive research with a quantitative approach, using secondary data obtained from the blood donor management information system (SIMDONDAR) from January to December 2022. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling, which was then processed using the statistical program for social science (SPSS).
Results: A total of 53,323 blood bags were obtained from donations from January to December 2022, both from voluntary donors and replacement donors. From the total donation data of 53,323 donors, only 125 donors (0.23%) of rhesus-negative blood were obtained from blood donation activities in the site and mobile units. Most of the donors have blood type O negative rhesus (39.2%), were male (72%), were voluntary donors (98.4%), and were donors with an age range of 25-44 years old (48.8%)
Conclusion: Each blood collecting center is expected to have a system for handling requests with rare blood groups such as Rhesus Negative; donors can be willing to be called at any time to the Tangerang City blood collecting center.
