Great overview paper of strategies to use when implementing a change to practice https://t.co/mpsqCFXmsV

[The Center for Implementation @TCI_ca]

This paper introduces the concept of the HOW (i.e., implementation strategies) – one of the essential components of an intervention.

▶️Relevant for #ImpSci and #ImpPractice as we all try to improve the uptake of interventions (i.e., WHAT/ the thing).

[Research at Lifeblood @lifebloodRnD]

When #blood donors' donations are postponed, they're more likely to return if we give them clear messaging and support.

📣📣ICYMI: Listen to @AmandaThijsen talk about developing a study to better understand fainting in donors and to create solutions acceptable to blood donors and blood services. https://t.co/fPsIuIOR0N @NHSBT_RD

[Amanda Thijsen @AmandaThijsen]

Do you work in #transfusion medicine? We’d love to hear your thoughts on using research evidence in #blooddonation policy and practice. Please help by completing a short survey: https://t.co/SFS1AC96TH Thank you!

[Amanda Thijsen @AmandaThijsen]

@DianvanderwalDr @lifebloodRnD @lifebloodau Glad to have you around!

Our new research is out!

Does the emotional experience during the blood donation process influence donor return?

"A trajectory of medium- high/increasing joy, high calm, and low/decreasing stress was associated with a significantly greater probability of return"

Can text messages save lives?

In a large‐scale field experiment, we randomized donors such that half are sent a text message when their donation was used. Messages increased subsequent donations by 3.6% compared with donors who did not get the message

What determines blood donor behaviour during the COVID19 pandemic?

@barbaramasser @DrMelHyde "Self‐efficacy and approval from others, underpinned by coping appraisals and organizational trust, play a critical role in intentions to donate"
