Objective To investigate the participation of ethnic minorities in voluntary blood donation, so as to provide research basis for understanding and promoting blood donation of local ethnic minorities, and further improve the participation rate of ethnic minorities in voluntary blood donation. Methods The information management system of our blood station was used to statistically analyze the blood donors of ethnic minorities in our station from 2019 to 2021. Results A total of 41 ethnic minorities participated in blood donation in our station, with a total participation rate of 44.63%, of which Yi(15.45%) and Hani(12.88%) were relatively high. The blood donors were mainly 18~45 years old; the male to female ratio of ethnic minorities is 0.94∶1; the majority were female blood donors. In the past two years, the proportion of ethnic minorities participating in voluntary blood donors had increased significantly. Conclusion In ethnic minority dominated areas, there is a large space and potential to mobilize and develop ethnic minorities to participate in voluntary blood donation. Maintaining the young blood donors and formulating strategies suitable for ethnic minority areas are conducive to the sustainable development of voluntary blood donation in ethnic minority areas.
