Resumen

Objective: to assess the knowledge and willingness to donate blood among postgraduate students in health sciences in Brazil. Methods: An online self-administered questionnaire was conducted to collect sociodemographic data, knowledge about blood donation (stages and requirements), and students' predisposition to donate. Results: out of 110 participating students, 56% had donated blood previously and 90% expressed willingness to donate. Professional experience in hemotherapy and self-perceived adequate knowledge were independent factors associated with satisfactory knowledge. Conclusion: most postgraduate students in health sciences in Brazil demonstrated predisposition to donate blood, with 56% having donated previously and 90% expressing interest. Professional experience in hemotherapy and perceived knowledge of donation requirements were associated with better understanding. These findings underscore the importance of hemotherapy education in encouraging blood donation among students, contributing to strategies aimed at increasing the number of donors and ensuring a safe blood supply.
