Factors influencing reproductive concerns and their correlation with quality of life among adolescents and young adults with acute leukaemia in Hunan province, China: a cross-sectional study
Adolescents and young adults with acute leukaemia exhibited moderately high levels of reproductive concerns, particularly those who had no children, had a low education level, resided in rural areas, had a family history of acute leukaemia or had received fertility counselling. Therefore, we suggest that healthcare providers prioritise addressing reproductive concerns in high-risk patients by offering tailored, high-quality and continuous fertility counselling and psychological support. Strengthening these strategies can help alleviate reproductive concerns and improve both mental health and overall quality of life in this population.
