Abstract

Objectives: (1) Describe the current status of blood transfusion safety in Thanh Hoa province hospitals; (2) Assess the effectiveness of a training intervention on blood transfusion safety knowledge and practice. Methods: A cross-sectional study combined with a pre/post-intervention assessment was conducted in 37 public hospitals using blood for emergency and clinical care. Data were collected through questionnaires and practice evaluations. Results: Thirty hospitals received safe blood from the Provincial Blood Transfusion Center; only 27.27% had a Hematology–Transfusion Medicine specialist. All hospitals had standard transport containers, but only 63.33% had dedicated blood refrigerators. Red cell reagents were available in 93.33% of hospitals, and blood grouping kits in 39.39%. Compliance with clinical transfusion procedures was generally good. Post-training, healthcare workers showed clear improvement in BTS knowledge and skills, with scores increasing by 2–3 points. Conclusion: blood transfusion safety compliance is generally satisfactory, but shortages in blood supply, qualified personnel, storage equipment, and reagents remain. Regular training is essential to strengthen transfusion safety and emergency response capacity.
