Global Rate of Willingness to Volunteer Among Medical and Health Students During Pandemic: Systemic Review and Meta-Analysis

Global Rate of Willingness to Volunteer Among Medical and Health Students During Pandemic: Systemic Review and Meta-Analysis

A previous study has evaluated the willingness of medical students to volunteer during pandemics and disasters [19]. Furthermore, a previously published systematic review on the willingness of health students to volunteer for COVID-19 reported willingness-to-volunteer rates ranging from 19.5% to 91.5% [20]. Unfortunately, a meta-analysis was not conducted in that systematic review [20].

An Intervention to Connect Patients With Psychosis and Volunteers via Smartphone (the Phone Pal): Development Study

It was concluded from systematic reviews [40,41] that there is no typical volunteer. These variations [42] encouraged the adoption of a definition of diverse volunteers for the inclusion criteria of this study that enabled volunteer recruitment from a variety of backgrounds. The volunteer inclusion criteria were widened, recruiting volunteers without experience of mental illness.

Childrens' and Parents' Willingness to Join a Smartphone-Based Emergency Response Community for Anaphylaxis: Survey

Yet people may volunteer for reasons other than pure altruism. For example, parents may volunteer in an organization from which their children directly benefit [25]. Self-identification as religiously observant is also associated with a higher willingness to join a mutual aid community [26]. The phenomenon of bystander intervention has been widely studied over the past 5 decades [27-29].
