Healthy individuals are the only sources of blood product supply. However, inequality between voluntary donations and blood product requirement is a global problem. The need for blood is an important concern for the society as a whole. Volunteer blood donors are the most important factor of safety blood donation. The aim of the study is to determine the level of cognitive perception of healthcare professionals in order to encourage blood donation. Accordingly, the intention of health care professionals, who are considered as role models, towards voluntary blood donation has been investigated according to Theory of Planned Behavior. This cross-sectional study was carried out in 233 healthcare professionals who were the employees of a tertiary education research hospital in Ankara. The participants’ intention towards voluntary blood donation is substantially positive (X̄= 4.41). Chronic diseases and previous experiences have significant impact on intention (p= .01). Perceived behavioral control (β= 0.407) is the strongest variable that predicts the intention. The study scale has explained the 41% of overall intention-related variances. It is expected that the positive intentions of the participants towards voluntary blood donation will affect the behavior of the public in this regard positively.
