This quantitative, prospective, transversal and descriptive study aimed at identifying the understanding and consent of students in the first and eighth stage of an undergraduate course in nursing on being a blood donor. For the research development we used a questionnaire with 29 questions that addressed knowledge, attitudes and practices, all related to blood donation. From students who participated in the survey 18.1% (n = 15) state "to be" a blood donor, and 63.9% (n = 53) non-donors. From non-donors (n = 53) 81.13% (n = 43) were asked to donate. When asked about what led them to donate 53.33% (n = 8) answered that donated on their own will and 26.66% (n = 4) for a family member/friend or acquaintance who might be needing. The factors that allow the donation demonstrate the need for further clarification on this matter and the implementation of campaigns and incentives to the practice of blood donation.Downloads
