Background : This study investigated obstacles to hematopoietic stem cells donation through surveys to hematopoietic stem cells-related professional organizations(recruitment agencies, hospitals, transplant coordinating agency, government agency), donation applicants, and donors. Through the analysis the direction of donation business is presented.
Subject and method : Questionnaires were e-mailed to donation applicants and donors who registered through Korea Marrow Donor Program(KMDP) from 2012 to 2014. 380 donation applicants(rate of reply 63.3 %) and 285 donors(rate of reply 47.5%) answered the questionnaires. In addition, 34 hands-on workers(7 from recruitment agencies, 8 from hospitals, 10 from transplant coordinating agencies, 9 from government agencies) attended the questionnaires
Conclusion : The following conclusion was obtained through the analysis. First, as a result of survey to the hematopoietic stem cells-related professionals, role of the professional organizations(recruitment agencies, hospitals, transplant coordinating agency, government agency) is the most crucial. Volunteer spirit is the most important and people who have acquaintance with relevant patients and experience with blood donation tend to apply for the donation. Recruitment agency should inform donation applicants clear information at each step of the donation process. Transplant coordinating agency and hospitals should improve service quality. The priority order of role of government agency is to create a unified legal basis, then public relations about bone marrow. The priority order among detailed elements is to create a unified legal basis, public relations about hematopoietic stem cells, to inform donation applicants clear information, to improve service quality, and volunteer spirit. Second, as a result of the most concerned issue of donation applicants is the stability of the operation and if it is resolved they are willing to donate. Their motivation is altruism and religious beliefs. Public relations about hematopoietic stem cells is the most important to increase the actual rate of donation. Continuous and precise information should be provided to keep donation applicants" attention. Third, as a result of survey to the donors, majority of them have experience with blood donation. Also, they have already identified the importance of hematopoietic stem cells donation through the media and register voluntarily. To contact information on the donation after registering helps to make decisions and the most influential one among them was the story of patients who need hematopoietic stem cells transplant.
Suggestion : The following suggestions are made through the conclusion. First, a unified legal basis should be created in bone marrow donation. Second, continuous public relations about hematopoietic stem cells through media(TV) us needed to improve the perception of the public. Third, Thus, the way should be sought to increase the age for donation applicants. Fourth, clear information about the hematopoietic stem cells donation should be provided and the opinion of parents and the spouse should be checked before the final registration process. Fifth, benefits for hematopoietic stem cells donors should be provided because relying just on the altruism of donors has limitations in activating the donation. Sixth, all hematopoietic stem cells-related professional organizations should do their own roles to increase the consent rate of the hematopoietic stem cells donation.
