Abstract
Objectives: To gain a deeper understanding of the real experiences and needs of the patients of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) with fertility concerns.
Design: A qualitative study.
Methods: Phenomenological research and Semi-structured method were conducted with the patients of PJS (N = 16), and the interview data were analyzed using inductive content analysis strategies.
Results: 16 patients were interviewed, including 13 women and 3 men partners. We identified 5 themes, including: (i) Heritability of disease, (ii) Potential risks of reproduction; (iii) The difficulties in raising children; (iv) family and social support. (V) Need support from multiple sources.
Conclusion: The findings of this study demonstrate that patients with Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS) who are of childbearing age experience various reproductive concerns and other manifestations. Therefore, it is essential to offer individualized psychological interventions for PJS patients at different psychological stages, with the support of healthcare professionals, family, and social networks.
