| Summary: | This study aimed to investigate drivers of, barriers to, and facilitators of blood donation among Muslim young adults in Malaysia who include both donors and non-donors. Using convenience sampling, 300 Muslim college students in Malaysia were invited to participate in this study. To assess differences between donors and non-donors’ blood-donation drivers, barriers, and facilitators, a chi-square test of independence and independent samples t-test were conducted. A total of 198 respondents participated (74.7% female, 87.9% aged between 18 and 24 years, 62.1% non-donors). Females were more likely than males to have experience with donating blood. Also, donors showed a higher mean score of drivers to donate blood, while non-donor revealed a higher mean score in terms of barriers to and facilitators of blood donation. This finding suggests that to encourage non-donors among Muslim young adults in Malaysia to donate blood, barriers that prevent them from doing so should be addressed. |
