TI  - How do people become plasma and platelet donors in a VNR context?

AB  - BACKGROUND: The demand for therapeutic plasma-derived products poses a challenge 
      to blood collection agencies (BCAs). In 2014-2015, the volume of plasma sent for 
      fractionation met 17.7% of Quebec's needs for immunoglobulins. This article aims 
      to offer an exploration of the paths blood donors follow in order to become 
      plasma and platelet donors (PPDs). STUDY DESIGN AND METHOD: This analysis is 
      based on semi-structured interviews with 50 PPDs in Quebec, Canada. Our analysis 
      focused on the occurrence of events and the presence of contextual elements 
      identified through: (1) factual data on PPDs; and (2) what PPDs identified as 
      being an influence on their donation experience. This information was synthesized 
      using a typology of trajectories. RESULTS: Six typical trajectories have been 
      distinguished, first by the presence (19/50 respondents) or absence (31/50) of 
      blood donation as a family tradition. Of the latter 31 donors, some pointed 
      instead to inherited family values as having a significant influence on their 
      commitment (11/31). Donors' careers were then distinguished as having started 
      early (34) or late (16). Sub-types then appeared with the addition of other 
      contextual elements, motivation profiles, and circumstances under which the 
      conversion to apheresis donation occurred. CONCLUSION: Our findings suggest the 
      existence of diversified donor trajectories, and confirm the importance of 
      conducting more in-depth analyses of the sequence of events occurring along PPDs 
      career. BCAs should develop strategies carefully tailored to different potential 
      clienteles if they wish to convert whole blood donors to apheresis donation, and 
      also focus on recruiting and retaining young PPDs.
