Abstract: This qualitative study explores healthcare providers' perspectives on blood donation safety protocols in a tertiary hospital setting. Semi-structured interviews with 20 healthcare professionals revealed key themes, including confidence in current protocols, challenges in adherence due to time constraints, staffing shortages, and communication gaps. Participants emphasized the need for continuous training, improved communication of protocol updates, and greater flexibility in protocol implementation to address real-world challenges. The findings suggest that enhancing these areas could improve adherence to safety protocols and ensure better outcomes for both donors and recipients.
