Nurses’ knowledge plays an essential role in ensuring quality and safety in blood transfusion. The objective of this study was to assess blood transfusion-associated knowledge of tertiary hospital nurses on the east coast of Malaysia. This was a cross-sectional study with 200 registered nurses involved in blood transfusion procedures at Hospital Universiti Sains Malaysia. The knowledge of the nurses was evaluated by using the routine blood transfusion knowledge questionnaire based on five parts, and <50%, 50–74%, or ≥75% of the knowledge was considered as poor, moderate, or high, respectively. Based on the scoring system, the overall knowledge of blood transfusion among Malaysian nurses (33.2 ± 8.4 years) was estimated to be 54.9 ± 7.6%. In individual items, the scoring was 81.0%, 45.4%, 49.2%, 63.0%, and 90.0% in knowledge prior to blood transfusion, on pre-transfusion, on post-transfusion, on complications, and on transfusion policy, respectively. The findings of this study indicated that most of the nurses’ overall knowledge of blood transfusion was at a moderate level; therefore, training courses and continuous medical education are warranted to improve knowledge and skills of the nurses to ensure good practices of blood transfusion.Noor Haslina Mohd NoorNoor Hafiza SaadMohammad KhanMohd Nazri HassanMarini RamliRosnah BaharShafini Mohamed YusoffSalfarina IberahimWan Suriana Wan Ab RahmanZefarina ZulkafliMd Asiful IslamMDPI AGarticlebloodtransfusionknowledgenursesassessmentquestionnaireMedicineRENInternational Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, Vol 18, Iss 11194, p 11194 (2021)
