Australia faces blood shortages as our population ages and demand for blood-product derived treatments increase. Donors aged over 50 donate more regularly with fewer adverse events than younger donors, yet comprise under 24% of blood donors. This multi-method project aims to investigate how those aged over 50 understand and engage with blood donation in the context of ageing, and how their involvement can be managed to maintain psychosocial wellbeing. This project expects to generate new knowledge in recruiting, retaining, and deferring older blood donors. Expected outcomes include tailored, validated resources that may significantly benefit Australia by effectively engaging older adults to ensure the sustainability of the blood supply.

随着人口老龄化和对血液制品衍生治疗需求的增加，澳大利亚面临着血液短缺。50岁以上的献血者比年轻献血者更经常献血，不良事件更少，但占献血者的比例不到24%。这个多方法项目旨在调查50岁以上的人如何理解和参与老龄化背景下的献血，以及如何管理他们的参与以保持心理健康。该项目预计将在招募，保留和推迟老年献血者方面产生新的知识。预期成果包括量身定制的、经过验证的资源，这些资源可能通过有效地吸引老年人参与确保血液供应的可持续性而使澳大利亚受益匪浅。
