To ensure blood supply safety, rigorous screening for infectious agents is implemented by blood establishments. However, FPS results can create challenges after donor notification, leading to psychological distress.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The study purposively selected whole\u2010blood donors who had received deferral letters due to two FPS results between April and October 2023. Semi\u2010structured interviews, guided by the Health Belief Model (HBM), examined health behaviours through seven constructs. Additionally, a survey of European Blood Alliance (EBA) members was conducted to gather insights on FPS management practices. Interview transcripts were coded and modelled to illustrate relationships between the themes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Ten in\u2010depth interviews were held, revealing varied responses: some donors felt reassured by safety protocols, while the majority experienced psychological distress. Key themes included emotional reactions, contact methods, follow\u2010up communication, engagement with Sanquin Blood Supply and altruistic motivations. The EBA survey shows varied FPS notification practices, rejection protocols, limited donor reaction studies and diverse support measures.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Improving communication clarity, providing follow\u2010up procedures and adopting best practices from EBA members can enhance donor experience. These efforts are essential for refining the deferral process and improving donor perceptions, ultimately benefiting the donor and the blood supply system.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/vox.70115","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,15]],"date-time":"2025-09-15T00:19:13Z","timestamp":1757895553000},"page":"1216-1223","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Perceptions of deferred blood donors regarding false\u2010positive screening results for infectious diseases and European blood establishment strategies"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"120","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-8558-7291","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jenny Erica","family":"Beckman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Donor Medicine, Donor Medicine Affairs Sanquin Blood Supply  Amsterdam The Netherlands"},{"name":"Master's Program in Health Sciences, Specialization in International Public Health Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam  Amsterdam The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Niubel","family":"D\u00edaz Padilla","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Donor Medicine, Donor Medicine Affairs Sanquin Blood Supply  Amsterdam The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Afke","family":"van der Woud","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Master's Program in Health Sciences, Specialization in International Public Health Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam  Amsterdam The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter","family":"van den Burg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Donor Medicine, Donor Medicine Affairs Sanquin Blood Supply  Amsterdam The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"V\u0115ra","family":"Novotny","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medical Affairs Sanquin Blood Supply  Amsterdam The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_9_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/08997640221106466"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1111\/trf.15551"},{"key":"e_1_2_9_4_1","unstructured":"Sanquin.The story of Sanquin.
