Source abstract
Quality of life (QoL) subtypes were identified via latent profile analysis (LPA), and their correlations with social support and self-efficacy were assessed in 284 patients with hematologic malignancies (HMs). The results were as follows: (1) LPA revealed three QoL subtypes of patients with HMs, namely, the high-QoL group, the medium-QoL group, and the low-QoL group. (2) The high-QoL group had higher levels of social support than the medium-QoL group did, and they also had higher levels of self-efficacy than both the medium- and low-QoL groups did. These results contribute to the identification of heterogeneous QoL features among patients with HMs and their correlations with social support and self-efficacy. Moreover, this study has clinical implications for improving the QoL of patients with HMs and promoting their physical and mental health.
