| الوصف: | Background and Aim The COVID‐19 pandemic has plagued our lives for more than 2 years, and the preference for convalescent plasma (CP) as a life‐saving treatment since CP has proven as a potential therapeutic option for acute COVID‐19 patients who were suffering from severe disease. It is important to identify which factors are associated with plasma donation. Therefore, this study aimed to assess the associated factors for CP donation to COVID‐19 patients. Methods A cross‐sectional study was conducted online from December 21, 2021 to February 15, 2022 to identify different socio‐demographic factors and knowledge related to CP donation. People who recovered from the COVID‐19 infections and those who are willing to participate were included in the study. A total of 60 participants were included in the study. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, correlation matrix, and factor analysis. Results The analysis results confirm that 41.67% (n = 25) of the participants aged 26–30 years; among the recovered patients, only about 23% (n = 14) of the participants donated plasma. Though 97% (n = 58) of the participants agreed to donate plasma when it will be needed, however, when someone asked to donate plasma then 76.67% (n = 46) of the patients declined it. Findings depict that gender had a weak positive relationship with ever decline in plasma donation at 5% level of significance and the age of the participants inversely related to plasma donation. Conclusion Almost all the recovered participants were willing to donate plasma, however, due to a lack of knowledge and misconception, relatively few people actually did. This study reemphasizes the importance of health education to overcome the misconception about plasma donation, which is crucial for the treatment of COVID‐19 infection. |
