Abstract :

 The experience of unpleasant blood donation reactions (e.g. Dizziness, nausea, vomiting and fainting) has been linked to negative attitudes about donation and consequently decreased likelihood of repeat donation. Negative reactions to blood donation are a major obstacle to retention of existing donors. For that reason, interventions designed to reduce the adverse effects of blood donation are important and likely to increase donor retention. Based on laboratory studies suggesting that social support attenuates both physical and psychological responses to stress, the present study upon 193 prospective donors hypothesized that providing social supportive by a phlebotomist during the donation process  reduces donors’ perceptions of stress and consequent pre–faint reactions and intention for redonation
