Blood donation, a word that once made countless people obligatory, has now become deserted. With the development and change of society, the blood donation industry is also facing many difficulties and challenges.
Some people say that people are reluctant to donate blood because of a crisis of trust and feel that their blood is being used or wasted, while others say that people are reluctant to donate blood because of a cognitive awakening and a feeling that their blood is precious or dangerous. So, what is the reason for the people's apathy and resistance to blood donation?
Crisis of confidence: The rights and interests of blood donors are compromised
Unpaid blood donation is a noble public welfare act, which can not only contribute to society, but also leave a guarantee for yourself and your family. However, in practice, many blood donors find that their blood is not treated with the respect and use it deserves, and is even misused and wasted. This has created a crisis of trust among blood donors, causing them to lose confidence and motivation to donate blood.
According to national regulations, unpaid blood donors can enjoy certain preferential policies, such as free blood, free physical examination, free parking, etc. However, in practice, there are often various obstacles and restrictions on these treatments, such as geographical restrictions, time restrictions, quantitative restrictions, etc.
Many blood donors find that their blood donation card cannot be cashed out, or they need to pay additional fees, or they need to donate blood before using blood. This leaves blood donors feeling deceived and disappointed, feeling that their blood has been wasted.
Blood donation is a safe and harmless act that can be done with confidence as long as you meet the conditions.
However, in practice, many blood donors have encountered various undesirable conditions, such as pinprick during blood donation, pain, bleeding, infection, etc. These conditions not only affect the physical health of blood donors, but also affect the psychological state of blood donors, making them fear and disgust with blood donation, and dare not donate blood again.
Donating blood is a private act, and as long as you follow the rules, you can protect your privacy. However, in practice, many blood donors find that their personal information has been leaked or abused, such as being harassed by phone calls, being promoted to advertisements, and being defrauded of money. These situations not only violate the rights and interests of blood donors, but also damage the credibility of blood donors, making them feel uneasy and dissatisfied with blood donation, and are unwilling to donate blood again.
Cognitive awakening: changes in the needs of blood donors
Unpaid blood donation is a rational choice that can be used to help others as well as to bring benefits to oneself. In the development and change of society, many blood donors find that their blood is not so important and necessary, and may even bring risks and troubles. This has led to a cognitive awakening of blood donors, giving them new perspectives and judgments about blood donation.
With the advancement and innovation of medical technology, many diseases and surgeries no longer require a large amount of blood transfusion, but can be solved by other methods and means, such as artificial blood, minimally invasive surgery, cell therapy, etc. These methods and means can not only reduce the need for blood, but also improve the effectiveness and safety of treatment. As a result, many donors feel that their blood is no longer in short supply and urgent, and they no longer need to donate blood for the sake of it.
Many blood donors' lifestyles and consumption views have also changed, and they have more attention and requirements for their blood, such as the quality, source, and use of blood.
They are no longer satisfied with the simple model of unpaid blood donation, but want to have more choice and control, such as whether their blood can be used for a specific purpose or object, or can be more rewarded or recognized. As a result, many blood donors feel that their blood is no longer a public resource, but a private asset, and are reluctant to donate it easily.
With the competition and pressure of society, many blood donors are also facing more challenges and crises physically and psychologically, and they have more dependence and protection on their blood, such as the health, safety, and reserve of blood.
They no longer see blood donation as a harmless or beneficial act, but rather as a risky or lossy act that may affect their bodily function or immunity, or lead to a lack of blood in an emergency. As a result, many blood donors feel that their blood is no longer a superfluous or surplus substance, but a scarce or precious substance, and they do not want to donate it easily.
epilogue
Is the reluctance of the people to donate blood a crisis of trust or a cognitive awakening? This is a question that deserves our consideration and attention. Blood donation and blood use, two seemingly opposite but interdependent behaviors, are related to people's lives and health.
The crisis of trust and cognitive awakening of blood donors reflects the imperfection and opacity of the blood donation system and policies, as well as the changes in society and the diversity of needs. How to solve these problems, improve the enthusiasm and satisfaction of blood donors, and ensure the safety and rights of blood users is an important issue facing us.
Blood donation is a humanitarian act and a manifestation of social responsibility. Let us use our love and actions to contribute to the cause of blood donation, and bring warmth and hope to the society and others.
