Abstract
this descriptive study utilized a cross-sectional study design. All of the respondents were chosen through a non-probability sampling method, called convenience sampling. Upon obtaining the total number of the population, the researchers computed the sample size using Slovin's formula. A total of 95 academic non-teaching personnel participated through an online survey. Standardized and well-structured questionnaire was utilized. Statistical analysis using frequency, percentage, mean and Pearson Chi-square were utilized for interpretation of results. The study showed that majority of the respondents have an average knowledge towards blood donation. In parallel to this, the respondents strongly agree that blood donation can really save lives and voluntary blood donation was the best way to donate blood which demonstrate a positive attitude. However, some were uncertain about contracting diseases during blood donation as well as fear of needles which can be correlated with their practices because most of the respondents do not have experience in donating blood. Majority consider donating blood when being invited by the blood bank. Lastly, the demographic factors do not have a significant association with the practice of voluntary blood donation among the academic non-teaching personnel.
