A Descriptive Model of Emergency On-Call Blood Donation
Abstract
Reported are results from an interview study of emergency on-call
blood donors (N = 58). Detailed is a series of empirical
generalizations which describe the process through which donors come
to volunteer as emergency donors. From these generalizations, results
are organized into four conceptual categories: the habit of giving,
the image of a recipient, the goal for giving, & the ideal
conception of the gift. On-call donors have developed a habit, image,
& goal for giving, but only a subset creates an ideal conception
of its gifts. This claim is supported by excerpts from interviews
& descriptions of general observations. HA.
