PurposeTo explore and understand the conflict in decision-making of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation in patients with hematological neoplasms. MethodsA descriptive qualitative study of 16 patients with hematologic neoplasms in the hematology department was conducted between February 2022 and May 2022. Purposive sampling was used to select participants. Face-to-face in-depth personal interviews were performed. Interviews were recorded, transcribed, and coded. This descriptive qualitative study adhered to the COREQ checklist. ResultsAll patients indicated difficulties in making decisions regarding hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Five themes were identified: (1) weighing the pros and cons of HSCT, (2) financial burden versus desire for rebirth, (3) treatment urgency versus being unprepared, (4) saving oneself versus damaging loved ones, and (5) family companionship versus emotional isolation. These themes reflect the contradictions, entanglements, and realistic conflicts in decision-making regarding hematopoietic stem cell transplantation for patients with hematological neoplasms. ConclusionsThis study identified multiple conflicts of decision-making in patients with hematologic neoplasms regarding decisions on hematopoietic stem cell transplantations. Healthcare workers should provide patients with disease knowledge, doctor-patient and intra-family communication, and access to financial support in order to resolve their conflicts and ultimately help them make the decision that is most optimum for them.
