Of the 10\u00a0593 donors who reported reading any of the PDIS, 97\u00b78% recalled instructions about immediate post\u2010donation care (e.g. extra fluids\/no exercise) and 88\u00b70% to call with questions\/problems. However, only 50\u00b71% remembered reading about what to do if you felt dizzy\/faint and 32\u00b74% about care for bruises. Recall rates in every area were similar before and after revision; except after revision, more donors remembered seeing information about maintaining iron and fewer that you should call the centre back with additional health information (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00\u00b70001).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Discussion<\/jats:title><jats:p>Blood collectors rely heavily on written materials to convey instructions to donors. Most repeat donors do not read the entire PDIS, and many do not recall important information. More donors recalled seeing how to maintain iron with the enhanced PDIS, but recall deficits remained on how to care for adverse reactions. Written materials alone appear to be insufficient to educate some donors about new or updated topics.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/vox.12992","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,19]],"date-time":"2020-09-19T21:04:14Z","timestamp":1600549454000},"page":"305-312","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Effectiveness of the post\u2010donation instruction sheet in conveying information to repeat blood donors"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"116","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7261-1236","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lauren A.","family":"Crowder","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"American Red Cross, Scientific Affairs Rockville MD USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-2328-626X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Anne F.","family":"Eder","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Georgetown University Medical Center Washington DC USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7955-3115","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Whitney R.","family":"Steele","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"American Red Cross, Scientific Affairs Rockville MD USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,19]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_8_2_1","unstructured":"US Department of Health and Human Services Food and Drug Administration Center for Biologic Evaluation and Research:Good guidance practices; 21.2016."},{"key":"e_1_2_8_3_1","volume-title":"Standards for blood banks and transfusion services","author":"Ooley PW","year":"2016"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_4_1","first-page":"533","article-title":"The gap between patient reading comprehension and the readability of patient education materials","volume":"31","author":"Davis TC","year":"1990","journal-title":"J Fam Pract"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1537-2995.2003.00473.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/vox.12298"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_7_1","volume-title":"Association Bulletin #12\u201003 \u2010 Strategies to Monitor, Limit, or Prevent Iron Deficiency in Blood Donors","author":"Triulzi D","year":"2012"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_8_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1537-2995.2010.02865.x"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/trf.14226"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_10_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/vox.12210"},{"key":"e_1_2_8_11_1","volume-title":"Making Health Communication Programs Work","author":"Office of Cancer Communications","year":"2001"}],"container-title":["Vox Sanguinis"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/vox.12992","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1111\/vox.12992","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/vox.12992","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,1]],"date-time":"2023-09-01T04:32:32Z","timestamp":1693542752000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/vox.12992"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,19]]},"references-count":10,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2021,3]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/vox.12992"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/vox.12992","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["0042-9007","1423-0410"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0042-9007","type":"print"},{"value":"1423-0410","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2020,9,19]]}}}
