Blood Donation Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices Amid Instability: A Biphasic Cross-Sectional Study in West Bank, Palestine (2022 vs 2025).

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Blood supply shortages remain a pressing global health issue, particularly in resource-limited regions. The West Bank region in Palestine, characterized by frequent conflicts and instability, faces additional challenges due to its fragile healthcare system, where a substantial proportion of blood donations still relies on family-replacement donors rather than voluntary donations. Objective: This study examines changes in knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) related to blood donation among Palestinians from 2022 to 2025, aiming to guide strategies for a sustainable voluntary donation system. Methods: A comparative cross-sectional survey was conducted in two phases during January to February 2022 and 2025 using cluster sampling, involving 1,270 adults (626 in 2022; 644 in 2025). Electronic questionnaires on KAP were distributed digitally. KAP scores, demographics, and donation behaviors were analyzed with t-tests, chi-square tests, and binary logistic regression to evaluate trends and predictors. Results: Blood donation knowledge improved from 47.1% in 2022 to 50.9% in 2025 ( Conclusion: Despite knowledge gains and positive attitudes, a significant gap remains between positive attitudes and actual donation rates, with family-replacement donations still comprising a substantial share. Targeted educational campaigns, improved access to donation facilities, and community engagement with healthcare stakeholders are essential to promoting voluntary donations in resource-limited and conflict-affected regions.
