Abstract
Background: Concerns over the side effects of blood donation contribute to a decline in donor visits. Indonesia has yet to reach the WHO's minimal demand of 5.1 million blood bags annually for blood supply. The purpose of this study is to determine the variations in haemoglobin levels before and after blood donation among donors at the Blood Donation Unit (BDU) of the Indonesian Red Cross (IRC) North Aceh, as well as analyse the effects of blood donation by comparing the haemoglobin levels of blood donors before and after the donation.
Methods: This is a non-experimental observational study using the Wilcoxon test on 97 donors. Hemoglobin levels were measured using an Hb meter. Data were analyzed using Statistical Product Service Solution for Windows (SPSS) version 25.0 for Windows.
Results: The study showed that the highest hemoglobin level among donors before blood donation was 17 g/dL, and after donation, it was 16.4 g/dL. The lowest hemoglobin level before donation was 12.5 g/dL, and after donation, it dropped to 9.1 g/dL (p=0.000). The mean hemoglobin level before donation was 14.67 g/dL, while after donation, it was 13.42 g/dL. This indicates an 8.5% decrease in hemoglobin levels post-donation.
Conclusion: There is a significant difference in hemoglobin levels before and after blood donation. The observed differences and the percentage decrease in hemoglobin levels pre- and post-donation were statistically significant, this demonstrates a notable impact of blood donation on hemoglobin levels.
