Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study investigates the psychological effects of blood donation among adult donors at the Guangzhou Blood Center. The primary objective is to examine whether a brief gratitude-based intervention delivered after donation enhances donors' subjective well-being (SWB) and basic psychological need (BPN) satisfaction. Participants who complete a whole-blood donation are randomly assigned to either an Intervention group, receiving a standardized thank-you message accompanied by a vignette emphasizing the life-saving impact of donation, or a Control group that receives no additional message. All participants complete questionnaires at Time 1 (immediately after donation) and at Time 2 (4-22 days later), assessing SWB and related psychosocial variables.

Gratitude-Based Thank-You Message

Participants in this group receive a standardized gratitude-based intervention immediately after completing whole-blood donation. The intervention consists of (1) a written thank-you message acknowledging the donor's contribution and emphasizing the life-saving impact of their donation, and (2) a brief vignette illustrating how donated blood benefits patients in need. The purpose of this intervention is to enhance donors' subjective well-being and psychological need satisfaction by reinforcing their sense of autonomy, competence, and relatedness. Participants complete questionnaires at Time 1 (post-donation) and Time 2 (4-22 days later).

Group Type EXPERIMENTAL

Information

Intervention Type OTHER

A reminder to inform donors that their blood has saved patient's life in a questionnaire.

No Message

Participants in this group complete the standard post-donation procedure and receive no additional message or vignette. They complete the same questionnaires at Time 1 (post-donation) and Time 2 (4-22 days later) as the Intervention group. This arm serves as the comparison condition for evaluating the effect of the gratitude-based intervention on subjective well-being and related psychosocial outcomes.
