Objective The ABC-X model was utilized to explore the reproductive concerns of patients with HIV/AIDS of childbearing age,aiming to offer a reference for medical and nursing interventions targeting reproductive issues in this group.Methods By employing the purposive sampling method in phenomenological research,semi-structured,and face-to-face interviews were conducted with 12 patients with HIV/AIDS of childbearing age at a tertiary infectious diseases hospital in Chengdu City.The interview data were subjected to thematic analysis to extract and refine key themes.Results Three primary themes emerged from the analysis:the causes of reproductive concerns,the manifestations of reproductive concerns,and the impact of reproductive concerns.The causes of reproductive concerns included three sub-themes:reproductive concerns led to stress in patients,difficulty in coping with reproductive concerns using personal resources,and misconceptions about fertility problems.The manifestations of reproductive concerns encompass five sub-themes:concern for personal health,concern over the spread and implications of the disease,anxiety regarding pre-pregnancy/pregnancy interventions,fear of discrimination and prejudice,and apprehension about caregiving capabilities.The impact of these reproductive concerns manifests through two sub-themes:intensification of patients'negative emotions and disturbance of familial harmony.Conclusions Patients with HIV/AIDS of childbearing age are prone to reproductive concerns,which can affect their physical and mental health.Healthcare professionals are recommended to pay attention to reproductive concerns of such patients and actively implement interventional measures.
