摘要：由于担心间接询问捐献者参与高风险人类免疫缺陷病毒 (HIV) 活动的有效性，我们的两个社区血液中心独立地开始直接、明确地询问捐献者有关此类活动的情况。直接询问的影响是通过捐助者态度调查以及通过比较因对直接口头问题做出积极回应而推迟的捐助者人数与先前因对间接问题作出积极回应而推迟的捐助者人数来评估的。我们的捐赠者态度调查表明，90% 的捐赠者同意直接询问，对捐赠者推迟模式的分析表明，因参与高风险活动而推迟参与的捐赠者数量几乎增加了五倍。我们的经验证明了直接询问献血者的可接受性，并表明这种询问很可能对血液安全产生积极影响。
Abstract: Concern about the ineffectiveness of indirect questioning of donors about participation in activities with a high‐risk of exposure to human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) led our two community blood centers independently to begin direct and explicit questioning of donors about such activities. The impact of direct questioning was assessed via a donor attitude survey and by comparing the number of donors deferred for a positive response to a direct verbal question with the number previously deferred for a positive response to indirect questions. Our donor attitude survey indicated 90% donor approval of direct questioning, and analysis of donor deferral patterns indicated almost a five‐fold increase in the number of donors deferred for participation in high‐risk activities. Our experience documents the acceptability of direct questioning of donors and indicates that such questioning may well have a positive impact on blood safety.
