Abstract
Introduction: The Indonesian Red Cross Blood Donor Unit of Tangerang City collected 70,730 blood bags, and 1.70% of the total donations were reactive to transfusion transmitted infection (TTI) in 2016. Meanwhile, in 2017, 1.59% of the 72,531 blood bag donations were reactive to TTI. There was a decrease of around 0.11% in reactive results at donors in 2017. These data prove that the donor counseling process for reactive blood can reduce the presentation of reactive blood from donors. This data is in accordance with the regulation from Minister of Health (MoH) No. 91 of 2015 regarding TTI reactive donor notifications. It is stated that the Blood Donor Unit (BDU) must provide a notification letter with recommendations for counseling after donation and referrals for blood donors to the hospital to carry out a series of diagnostic examinations and further treatment. This study aims to determine the effect of donor counseling in reducing the amount of reactive blood obtained from donors at the Indonesian Red Cross Blood Donor Unit of Tangerang City.
Methods: The research was conducted at the Indonesian Red Cross Blood Donor Unit of Tangerang City by collecting data on the number of reactive results to TTI in donor blood in 2016-2017. This study uses total sampling methods, and the number of samples used was 2359.
Result: The number of samples reactive to TTI in donors at the Indonesian Red Cross Blood Donor Unit of Tangerang City in 2016-2017 shows that more reactive blood results were found before counseling in 2016, as many as 1204 samples (51%) compared to after counseling in 2017 as many as 1155 samples (49%).
Conclusion: Donor counseling reduces the amount of reactive blood obtained from donors at the Indonesian Red Cross Blood Donor Unit of Tangerang City. Therefore, it is recommended that the Indonesian Red Cross Blood Donor Unit in all regions of Indonesia should carry out a counseling process for their donors to reduce the number of reactive blood acquisitions.
