| Abstract: |
This systematic review and meta-regression analysis examined behavioural correlates of plasma donation intention and behaviour, employing the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF) to categorise associated factors. From 53 included studies (n = 3,282,755 participants), we identified 56 unique factors spanning 11 TDF domains. Meta-regression revealed significant correlations between plasma donation intention and six domains, including beliefs about capabilities, social influences, and emotions. Meta-regression of factors associated with behaviour did not identify any significant associations. This review highlights key theoretically informed correlates of plasma donation intention but reveals a lack of evidence on predictors of actual donation behaviour. Addressing this intention–behaviour gap through robust, longitudinal research will be critical to informing effective plasma donation interventions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
