  "abstract": "BACKGROUND: For a safe blood transfusion, the knowledge of healthcare professionals is crucial. Training nurses ensure safe blood transfusion, as they are the primary care providers. Potential near-miss events can be identified using a questionnaire. AIM: The aim of the study was to evaluate the knowledge, attitude, and practice (KAP) among nurses toward blood transfusion. SETTINGS AND DESIGN: A descriptive cross-sectional study was done among nurses over a 3-month from June to August 2023 at a tertiary care center in north India. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A total of 361 nursing officers and nursing students were included in our study. The assessment of KAP was done using a questionnaire comprising 20 questions. KAP scores were calculated and compared between different demographic variables. Furthermore, the correlation was studied between total KAP scores. STATISTICAL ANALYSIS: The collected data were analyzed using an appropriate statistical procedure in R-4.3.2 statistical software. RESULTS: Nurses from the surgical department had more knowledge scores compared to the medical department which was statistically significant (P = 0.005). A statistically significant positive correlation was found between nurses’ total knowledge score and total practice score (P = 0.028). CONCLUSION: Personnel with the necessary training are required for the proper and effective administration of blood transfusion services and the security of the blood supply. A hospital blood transfusion committee should be established and tasked with overseeing every aspect of the blood transfusion procedure.",
