Objective To understand the situation of free blood use of blood donors in Changsha to explore the correlation between free blood use of donors and repeated blood donation behaviors, so as to provide a theoretical basis for the recruitment of voluntary blood donations. Methods A total of 260 voluntary blood donors were selected by random sampling and divided into reimbursed group(n=97) and unreimbursed group(n=163), based on the results of a questionnaire, inquiring their using of free blood. Results The reimbursed group differed from the unreimbursed group in all dimensions, including behavioral attitude dimension(Z=3.250, P<0.05), subjective behavioral norm dimension(Z=4.576, P<0.05), and perceptual behavioral control dimension(Z=7.255, P<0.05) and the total score of the scale(Z=8.625, P<0.05), and the differences were statistically significant. Conclusion The intention to donate again was stronger in donors who experienced free blood use than those didn’t. Such donors are suitable candidates for blood donor recruitment. It is recommended to develop a suitable recruitment strategy for this population and further guarantee the clinical use of blood.
