Abstract

Young citizens play a key role in providing a continuous blood supply for public health system. This paper examines the prosocial behavior of young non-blood donors and analyses motivations, barriers, anticipated emotions (AEs), and intention to donate of a sample of 1,626 Spanish non-donors belonging to Generation Z and millennials. Among the main conclusions, motivations and barriers are antecedents of the AEs. Particularly, motivations (external and internal) positively influence AEs that enhance blood donation and deter AEs of not donating. Barriers (external and/or external) positively influence AEs that deter blood donation and deter AEs that enhance blood donation. Findings also demonstrate the influence of AEs in predicting intention to donate, and thus in prosocial behavior. As different clusters of young non-donors coexist according to their motivations and barriers, the paper identifies the cluster that would reduce free-riders. Public policy may change citizens' behavior by changing AEs that deter blood donation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The rise of modern antimicrobial drug resistance has evolved into a pressing global health crisis, challenging the very foundation of our ability to combat infectious diseases. The overuse and accessibility of antibiotics, particularly in emerging nations, have given rise to resilient'superbugs,'rendering common medications ineffective. This escalating challenge poses a significant threat to public health and leads to heightened healthcare costs, prolonged patient stays, and increased mortality rates. As communities grapple with the urgent need for a coordinated response, a comprehensive understanding of antimicrobial drug resistance and innovative strategies becomes paramount. Frontiers in Combating Antibacterial Resistance: Current Perspectives and Future Horizons is meticulously crafted for academic scholars, researchers, and healthcare professionals. It addresses this critical issue head-on and serves as a beacon of knowledge and a solution-oriented guide. With a focus on elucidating the mechanisms behind antimicrobial drug resistance and exploring emerging therapeutic targets, the book presents an in-depth analysis of the problem. It spans environmental, genetic, and climatic factors influencing resistance, delving into cutting-edge technologies and sustainable strategies for prevention. By offering a holistic view of the issue and proposing evidence-based solutions, the book is an indispensable resource for those seeking to navigate the complex landscape of antimicrobial drug resistance. Frontiers in Combating Antibacterial Resistance: Current Perspectives and Future Horizons aims to raise awareness, guide policy decisions, and foster international cooperation. It is a comprehensive educational tool, equipping students, researchers, and healthcare professionals with the knowledge needed to tackle this global menace. Ultimately, the book's contribution lies in understanding the complexities of antimicrobial drug resistance and empowering individuals and communities to enact meaningful change in the face of this formidable challenge.
